I have a bunch of little scripts and aliases I've written over the years, but none are used more than these...

alias ..='cd ..'

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

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

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

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

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

Does zsh support this out-of-the-box? Because I definitely never had to setup any of these kinds of aliases but have been using this shorthand dot notation for years.
