And I'm not crazy about the name "workdir". To me, it sounds like it
returns something, not sets and resets something. But I don't have a

"change_dir", which isn't awesome either.
Our version is named "pushdir", modeled after shell's pushd (even though pushdir is a context manager and does auto-pop). Everyone figures out what it does at a glance.That's a great name!
Although I think having os.chdir() return a context manager is a better design (assuming it can work, but at first blush it would seem so).
