To add on that, I would vote for changing everything to make cd work. It's about consistency.

The question is if it's better to have it in /bin/"" or as /env/fn#"". I think that /bin/"" makes more sense for various reasons.

Also a good question would be: do we create an extra case for cd commands, or do we use eval? An extra case for cd commands would imply that the cd part of custom programs (including shell scripts) wouldn't work, so eval would be the most consistent, as OP suggested. I don't know about the downsides of eval though.
