[ale] teleport vs cd

[Michael Trausch]

Yes, I have been using pushd/popd for a long time and it works well for me.
Being that I have a lot of similarly named directories, I don't think this
teleport thing would work for me... besides, I have become rather accustomed
to working in directories like a stack.

But, interesting nonetheless.
