Makes sense, but personally (don't know about Finn) I will not
spend a second trying to implement that. First because of the
java.io non java.io resulting confusion. From a general
perspective os.chdir is a lot shell task oriented, I personally
think if one is writing a shell task program, she's better
served by CPython anyway.

OTOH sound patches are always welcome.
