I like the sound of that.  I don't know if its envisioned yet, but if such a 
thing were implemented, it seems like it would be nice to keep the entire 
path in that form somewhere so you could "re-descend" the tree.

What I'm trying to say is:

given: 

/usr/local/bin
-----|------|---|

say I click on (under) local, I should move to /usr/local, but keep the entire 

/usr/local/bin
-----|------|---|

visible, so I can later click under bin to get moved back to /usr/local/bin.

In fact, I can imagine someplace on the screen where several similar 
alternative paths are viewed, allowing me to move anywhere in any of those 
hierarchies with a single click:

/usr/local/bin
-----|------|---|
/home/<user>/work/askRhk/
--------|----------|------|----------|
/blah/blah/blah/blah
------|------|------|----|

I can't recall ever seeing such a (G)UI, but it sure sounds useful.
