} Do you mean in front of the path-directories? cd goes to local
} directories first, and then cdpath.

I meant what I wrote; at first I had "force ./ in front" but then I
realized that "cd ./foo" will in some circumstances change into a
directory $^cdath/./foo(N) so rather than rewrite the whole example
I just changed "." to "$PWD".

I see now that was a false economy and I should have just figured out
how to say "populate path-directories with $^cdpath/*(N)".
