In tcsh (and zsh) the "set implicitcd" is extremely useful when you get used to it. It allows on to type just "DIRECTORY_NAME" instead of "cd DIRECTORY_NAME". At first it might seem like a minor difference, but after getting used to it it's quite helpful, especially when you do a lot of cut and paste...
It would be nice to have the same option in bash too. It seems that a patch to implement and document this was even submitted some time ago: http://osdir.com/ml/shells.bash.bugs/2004-09/msg00016.html but there was not reply to it. What is the status of this, was it rejected, or it simply fell through the cracks?
