One remark about this : .tar.gz files are the exception rather than the rule,
and AFAIK maybe the only one ? It's pretty common to have dots in filenames
instead of blanks for example, and stem does the right thing here :
'/data/my.little.file.txt'. There is also the case of hidden files on Linux,
what do you expect for /home/toto/.program.cfg ?
