I can understand that, and thinking back on it, the question really is, of what use is this? It does seem somewhat silly and cluttering things that don't really need to be... The for cd in /dev/*/cd solution (Provided that layout never changes) seems simple enough to me...
I realize you didn't initially request this, so I'm not trying to ask you what use this is, but rather the list. :)
