Perhaps you should give up your preconceived notions and realize that people use  
shells in a large number of different ways and what works in your environment  
may not apply to mine. I don't use pwd outside of scripts all that often. I  
depend on something wrapped around the shell to view the current directory (e.g.  
cmushell mode in emacs or an ATK typescript window). (Worst case, I put part of  
it into my prompt.) All having pwd shadowed does for me is introduce  
inconsistencies with almost every other piece of UNIX software.

Either make Hoah's code an optional package, or bind it into the namespace in  
such a way that it doesn't shadow pwd and friends. (Those who want it to shadow  
pwd can introduce alias code in their .esrc like they've always done with other  
shells.)
