Description

Since most use-full functionalities from Dir are included in Pathname, I'm surprised that Dir.chdir is not included. As the whole Pathname class is as pleasant facade for File, FileTest, Dir and FileUtils, and working with it should be 'unsurprising', I think the chdir command should also be a part of the Pathname class/

Research direction

Begin by reading Pathname's existing directory-related API and Ruby's Dir.chdir entry point. Resolve the intended instance or class behavior and how it should fit Pathname's facade; done requires an agreed API and coverage for the resulting behavior.
