$CDPATH does for directories what $PATH does for executables.

You can type "ip addr show" (rather than "/sbin/ip) when "/sbin/" is in $PATH.

You can type "cd tomh" (rather than "/root/path/to/poc/tomh") when
"/root/path/to/poc/" is in $CDPATH.

To the OP: CDPATH's tab completion's not working for me on F15. I've
never used tab completion this way before so it's a new "non-feature"
for me; I'm tempted to build an F14 VM to see it in action and to
compare the contents of their respective "/etc/bash_completion.d/".
