I think you probably could fool the shell by unsetting PWD or something
silly like that (or "cd -P" which may not be supported by non POSIX shells
but I suspect the ones we care about do support it).
Doing a 'cd "$(pwd)"' inside cd_to_toplevel would be a less objectionable
and arguably more portable workaround for the case where you have a
symlink pointing into somewhere in your work tree.
