"file." and "file" do _not_ have the same extension. One has an empty extension
whereas the other has none.
I agree. A simple solution is to make the dot part of the extension. So
extension("file.") returns "." and extension("file") returns the empty
string (be it null or not). Problem solved.
One nice side effect is that concatenating the base and the extension
gives back the name.
