So here's what it looks like now (in svn):

[Q:/ipython]|37> pushd
            <37> ['Q:\\ipython']
[Q:/ipython]|38> cd /
[Q:/]|39> popd
popd -> Q:\ipython
[Q:/ipython]|40> popd
UsageError: %popd on empty stack
[Q:/ipython]|41>

I'm not opposed to adding the previous style pushd/popd to
ipy_legacy.py if backwards compatibility is needed, but the current
implementation is less surprising and the only special case is popping
an empty stack.

Next up for me: fix

%macro 3-5

To give usageerror, as opposed to creating a macro called "3-5".
