pwd is part of the GNU coreutils application suite, so it's probably installed just about everywhere outside of appliance-y machines.

Paul,

How interesting. Saves 5 keystrokes.

I also just learned that instead of entering
$ perl -MCPAN -e shell
I can enter only
$ cpan

As Eric Harrison told me more than two decades ago, "Linux is simple. Each
small tool does only one thing and does it well. The problem is that there
are thousands of these little tools." :-)

And so it goes,
