No, it shouldn't.

We could add a user-level command-not-found handler, perhaps, but not
change AUTO_CD.

Let's try to avoid camelCapsNames in zsh, please.  All other such
names have hyphens or underscores between words.

} does a pushd.

Not sufficient simply to do this?

	setopt AUTO_PUSHD
	cd chdir () {
	  setopt localoptions NO_AUTO_PUSHD
	  builtin cd "$@"
	}

This accomplishes what you describe, in all versions of zsh that support
local options.  Or maybe you just want AUTO_PUSHD set all the time and
don't care about redefining "cd" to avoid it?
