[Discuss] efficiently changing directories?

Well, er.  After writing that script, bmy friend pointed out the CDPATH
variable in bash.  From the bash(1) man page:

       CDPATH The search path for the cd command.  This is  a
colon-separated
              list  of  directories  in  which the shell looks for
destination
              directories specified by the cd  command.   A  sample
value  is
              ".:~:/usr".
 

So it's already built into bash.  Nothing like reinventing the wheel!
