Bash Version: 5.3
Patch Level: 15
Release Status: release

Description:
I can add a non existing directory using pushd by doing following:
pushd -n dir

This will add the directory 'dir' at position 1 in the stack even though it 
does not exist

This means if I try to remove the top directory with popd without argument I 
get following error:
bash: popd: dir: No such file or directory

The non existing directory can be removed using popd +1 (or the location it is 
in)

I apologize if this is intended behavior and I am supposed to be able to add 
non-existing directories, therefore creating a false bug report.

Repeat-By:
$ pushd -n <non_existing_dir>
