What do you guys think?
While the per-directory profile sounds interesting and useful (a really
good idea!), as it might solve the requirement for per-project
environment here, the automatism for the 'cd' command feels like more
confusing than useful: WTF does 'cd' more than change directory?
Instead, provide a command to update the environment for the current
directory, which does search for an .uprofile/ in all the parent
directories when there is no local one.
Additionally, (let the user) define a *new* command that does both
changing directory and updating the environment.
Another point: the per-directory profile solution feels like there is no
need to distinguish between user- and directory-profile any more - as
the user-profile would not be anything different than ~/.uprofile/, no?
Thank you!
