Suggestion: cd into typed dir if available

Example:
If I do
j my_dir when there is no my_dir in the jump list, but there is ./my_dir, then automatically cd into it.
I would also find this useful as it would allow me to just use j for everything. If implementing the feature is not possible then perhaps exit with an error so we can do something like
alias j='temp_func(){ j "$1" || cd "$1"; unset -f temp_func; }; temp_func'
which is just an alias that runs your argument on j and then cd if j fails.
Do not alias j command. Fixed mine.
While I understand it would be helpful to change directory based on the current path if it hasn't already been indexed, I don't want to overlap features between autojump and cd.
From Unix philosophy:
Make each program do one thing well. To do a new job, build afresh rather than complicate old programs by adding new "features".
