Ah, I misunderstood the scope of "any of the words".

I'm of two minds on this one.  Totally agree regarding e.g. "builtin
cd".  OTOH if for some reason I have a global alias for "+1" or "-0" I
might actually want it expanded here (I'm having a hard time
visualizing a use case for such an alias in the first place).

Marlon's latest effort to generalize this as "execute-command" pushes
responsibility for all of the foregoing onto the caller.
