In bash, I use an alias '..' for 'cd ..', and '...' for 'cd ../..', and

Use the ERR trap?
```
command_not_found_handle() {
return 127
}
trap '
if [ $? -eq 127 ]
then d=$(history 1 | awk "{ print \$2 }")
test -d "$d" && cd "$d"

Ugly, but, works--after a fashion:
- Only for DIRs in the CWD.
- no `/' allowed in DIR.
- if CMD with the same name as DIR is found in $PATH, that will be executed.
(I tried defining a command_not_found_handle function but that doesn't
seem to work if the command that is not found is a directory).
Ayup, dunno what's up with that.
