splitFileExt "foo" = ("foo", "")
splitFileExt "foo." = ("foo", "")

I think the second case should be changed to give ("foo.", "")
so joinFileExt could undo splitFileExt. On Windows "foo" and "foo."
are equivalent, but on Unix they are not.

What about splitFileExt "foo.bar."? ("foo", "bar.") or ("foo.bar.", "")?
