and one more note to catch up especially for mr. @keltroth and mr. @3v1n0

as it caught my eye, you both till the last revision leave $OLDPWD value unescaped, and it's quite dangerous, 'cause if the previous dir will include spaces in name - with cd - one will definitely fail to return. and since everything in this routine is silenced with /dev/null, it would be an adventure to find out what a hell is going on. been there, seen that

I've been fond of tuning little things of that kind a lot, it's very exciting sometimes

the last for today - three more functions on topic from my own regular set of /etc/bash.functions

pushd () {
    builtin pushd ${1} >/dev/null 2>&1
}

popd () {
    builtin popd ${1} >/dev/null 2>&1
}

dirs () {
    builtin dirs -v
}

xterm

respect, guys!
