cd's Extraneous Arguments.

[Ralph Corderoy]

Hi,

4.3.42(1)-release

`cd foo bar xyzzy' changes directory to foo, complaining if it doesn't
exist.  It doesn't complain about the unwanted extra arguments.  This
can cause problems;  `cd *04' ends up in 2015-04, not 2016-04.

Keith Thompson raised this in 2010,
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2010-12/msg00072.html and
the list discussed that pushd, etc., also have this behaviour, but the
thread quickly went way off topic and I didn't spot a resolution.

I think cd should match the `help cd' output and insist on at most one
`dir'.  Why doesn't it do this?  If the behaviour isn't going to change
then the documentation should be altered to match.

Please keep me CC'd;  I'm not subscribed.

Cheers, Ralph.
