cd builtin on Windows

[tiymat]

Recently I've had occasion to use Murex on Windows. I'm not a frequent Windows user, so I was surprised to learn that the Windows equivalent of pwd is cd without any args. I'm wondering whether it would be worth it to change the cd builtin to print the working directory when it's invoked without args. (Possibly only on Windows?)

I'm a little hesitant on that one because it creates functional inconsistencies between the Windows and POSIX builds of Murex which might cause some peoples scripts to fail where they're assuming cross-platform consistency due to sticking with the builtins.

Is there a specific problem you're running into? while pwd itself is not a builtin, $PWD will behave similarly bar support for any parameters that pwd might support. eg

» $PWD
/Users/lmorg/dev/go/src/github.com/lmorg/murex

Oh, checking $PWD directly never occurred to me. That should be fine for my use case. Thanks!
