That's actually not true, 'cd' is intrinsically a built-in utility (it
couldn't possibly function otherwise, as it must affect the current
environment) and it is also explicitly exempt from a $PATH search by XCU
2.9.1.4(d)[*] (not that most shells follow that absurd $PATH search rule
for builtins anyway, but that's a different rant). Point being, POSIXly,
'command cd' is safe.
