I've done that, except I use commas. It's marginally easier (one less 
keystroke and uses a stronger finger) and doesn't present problems with 
the path ../

alias ,='cd ..'
alias ,,='cd ../..'
alias ,,,='cd ../../..'
alias ,,,,='cd ../../../..'
alias ,,,,,='cd ../../../../..'
alias ,,,,,,='cd ../../../../../..'
alias ,,,,,,,='cd ../../../../.././..'
alias ,,,,,,,,='cd ../../../../../.././..'
alias ,,,,,,,,,='cd ../../../../../../.././..'
alias ,,,,,,,,,,='cd ../../../../../../../.././..'

You know what would be cool? If you could define recursive aliases:

alias ,='cd ..'
alias ,,='cd ..; ,'

That would rock!

Cheers,
Daniel.
