Okay.  Different tack, different problem:

preexec {
  __last_command=$1
  # ... etc.
}

trap '
  local dir= create=
  set -- ${=__last_command}
  (( $# == 1 )) || return 1
  [[ $1 == */* ]] || return 1
  dir=$1
  read -q "create?Create $dir [y/N]? " || return 1
  mkdir -p $dir || return 1
  cd $dir
' ZERR

Now $dir ends up containing '~/tmp/one-off-project', with the '~' 
unexpanded.  Seeing as how the directory doesn't yet exist, I can't just 
glob it.  Is there a function to do just named-directory expansion?
