I've written a `cdots' shell script, providing aliases .. ... .... etc. with
an additional tab completed argument for taking a U-turn, for example:
/usr/local/share$ ... sh<TAB><ENTER>
/usr/share$
Seven functions will be created; 2-8 dots which allow you to move 1-7
directories up, and additional directories down again with tab completion. In
pseudo-code, cdots allows you to do this:
.. [dir] = cd ../[dir]
... [dir] = cd ../../[dir]
.... [dir] = cd ../../../[dir]
..... [dir] = cd ../../../../[dir]
...... [dir] = cd ../../../../../[dir]
....... [dir] = cd ../../../../../../[dir]
........ [dir] = cd ../../../../../../../[dir]
