Almost every time I make a directory, I get into it.
So, I thought: would be nice if a parameter -something create and enter the

Thanks for the idea, but we _can't_ implement it in coreutils. The
notion of the current working directory is per-process - if you spawn a
new mkdir child process, then there is no way that the child can cause
the parent to chdir().
Rather, _you_ must implement this as a shell function or alias in your
shell. Something like this (untested) would call mkdir with all
arguments, and if that succeeds, then change directory to the last argument:
mkdir_cd () {
mkdir "$@" && eval cd "\"\${$#}\""
}
