Is this what everybody expects? I'm not sure, but another possibility
would be to treat these as if "dir/subdir/." is passed. What is the
result of directory("/") or directory("d:/")?
?? I would expect:
directory("dir/subdir/") --> "dir/subdir"
as subdir _is_ a dir, not a file, as shown by the trailing slash. If it
was:
directory("dir/subdir") --> "dir"
as subdir is perhaps not a directory, as there is no trailing slash.
I realise this means the trailing slash becomes important, but it kinda is
important as it does tell us when something is definitely a directory.
Alternately, we could ignore the distinction between file and directory -
as we're essentially just parsing strings here - and have two functions:
lastComponent("dir/subdir/") -> "subdir"
lastComponent("dir/subdir") -> "subdir"
allButLastComponent("dir/subdir/") -> "dir/"
allButLastComponent("dir/subdir") -> "dir/"
