Why is the «if» codepath necessary?

s/cd/builtin cd/?

Should the -q option be passed to «cd»?

Should any of the words be quoted to protect against global aliases?

Does the existence of CHASE_DOTS / CHASE_LINKS raise any concerns?

Should this be implemented in C so it can call chdir(2) directly without
gymnastics?

Regarding your first post in the thread, lines weren't wrapped,
which made it hard to read.
