Because then ``ls ..'' disagrees with ``cd ..; ls'' and I get confused
by that.  Other people don't;  this hack's for them.

Oops.  I forgot.  $cdpath searching is done in initial.es in 0.84 and
earlier releases;  in 0.9alpha1, it's not a builtin part of the shell,
but something that can be added after the fact.

I guess you could take cdpath out of the 0.84 initial.es or put this
hack in there, but I'd recommend upgrading to the new version.
