This is obviously a small thing, but it would be nice to be able to say:
>>> Path(r"C:\x.txt").with_stem("y")
WindowsPath('C:/y.txt')
Rather than having to do some variation of:
>>> old_path = Path(r"C:\x.txt")
>>> old_path.with_name("y"+old_path.suffix)
WindowsPath('C:/y.txt')
Or:
>>> old_path = Path(r"C:\x.txt")
>>> old_path.with_name("y"+old_path.suffix)
WindowsPath('C:/y.txt')
Or (god forbid):
>>> (old_path := Path(r"C:\x.txt")).with_name("y"+old_path.suffix)
WindowsPath('C:/y.txt')
There are already .with_suffix() and with_name() methods. Including
with_stem() seems obvious, no?
