BTW, the error message here should really not be talking about CDPATH in
this case, it is just confusing:

    Welcome to the Emacs shell

    ~/org/notes $ cd ~/wip/non-existent
    No such directory found via CDPATH environment variable
    ~/org/notes $ cd ~/wip/emacs
    ~/wip/emacs $

But (getenv "CDPATH") => nil
