These are both good solutions, I was unaware of the builtin keyword or
that redirection could come before the command :) Since cd doesn't
appear to print anything else to stdout I would probably support
leaving things as they are.
Thanks!

But the above doesn't work. The echo happens on stdo

So, I guess there are several cases to consider.
1. CDPATH
2. cdable_vars
3. -
4. cdspell
I have attached another patch that would prevent echoing the path in
all of these cases with the `-q` option.

I find it a little unpleasant that cd echoes the new working directory
when CDPATH is used to locate the new directory (I already have the
working directory in my prompt). I understand that this is behavior
is mandated by POSIX but I wonder if we could have an option that
disables this.
Maybe if
