Hi,
make and git have the -C option which works like:
(
   builtin cd -q $COPT
   git/make "$@"
)

I think that it is very useful, because no lengthy subshell is needed. Zsh
doesn't have such option, could it be added? It's pitty that -C is already
used by NO_CLOBBER, but maybe some other letter is free (I didn't found
any)?
