I don't know yet. :-)

Your patch is clever, but I would prefer a new explicit syntax or a new 
command.

Either CHDIR, or a new syntax for the EXEC command, something like:

EXEC [...] IN <directory>

that does not introduce a new keyword.

I must think about it a bit. If I am too long to decide, just tell me 
and I will merge your patch anyway.
