But bytes has a pretty full set of "string like" methods now, so I suppose

I disagree. We've headed off down the rabbit-hole of filenames for

going to be chopping up filenames and path names? It already gives us
OS-specific behaviour and the sort of partitioning of name elements that
seem to be 90% of what people are asking for.
