Yes, I've found there are a few ways around the lack of
"filter mode" in GNU basename. That there are other
solutions doesn't negate the idea that it can/should be
able to work in "filter mode" like so many other chainable
applications, right?
BTW... You shouldn't hard code paths such as /bin/basename. On some
systems basename is in /bin and and on some in /usr/bin. It is always
better to avoid hard coded paths, which create portability problems,
and instead locate programs from PATH.
I didn't hardcode anything :) I specified the basename
binary I wanted to use here because there is another one in
my PATH before /bin (the basename code I am working on! And
I want it there at the front)
