[ale] cd command and auto complete

[Jim Kinney]

Linux ain't winders! Thankfully!!

You haven't entered enough data to pick one or the other yet with just the
"co". If you hit <TAB> twice it will show you the options is does see with
the minimal input so far. so add more to make it unique and then
tab-completion will make it happen the rest of the way.

As long as the general population is passive, apathetic, diverted to
consumerism or hatred of the vulnerable, then the powerful can do as they
please, and those who survive will be left to contemplate the outcome.
