Tip #360: ':e <dir>' enter files and directories

You can directly enter files with ':e filename', but did you know you can 'enter' directories that way ?

e.g. ':e ..' opens a buffer window with the entries of the parent directory.
If you then double click on an entry the directory is opened in the same way (if it's a directory)
or the file is opened for editing (if it's a file).

(Don't ask me, if it's normal vim behaviour or the effect of any script.)
