No, I understand your question, but I don't see any relationship, at
all, between the two items. Adding current directory stacks has
nothing to do with allowing introspection of the state of a window
variable. The two changes are completely orthogonal.
OK, I guess then I don't understand your todo entry and Yakov's need for it.
The todo entry is
There is no way to change directory and go back without changing the local
and/or global directory. Add a way to find out if the current window uses
a local directory. Add cdcmd() that returns ":cd" or ":lcd"?
I guess I'm just confused about how the first two sentences relate.
Ah, the first sentence is simply a statement that really has very
little to do with the actual todo entry.
I figured that the todo was about having a way of changing directories
and being able to go back.
Either way, wouldn't it be more useful to alter getcwd() to take an
optional argument stating whether we want the local or global cwd?
