Summary

0005807: Filename.get_suffix is needed (3.11.2, but 4.0.x does also not contain it)

Description

In module Filename there is

- "check_suffix" to check on a known suffix
- "chop_suffix" to chop a known suffix

- "chop_extension" to chop any (even unknown) extension

For working on files with any file extension
(previously unknown, means: not looking for a specific extension/suffix),
to use "check_suffix" and "chop_suffix" a "Filename.get_suffix"
function would help a lot.

"chop_extension" could then be implemented
comparingly easily with "get_suffix" and "chop_suffix".

But to extract the suffix from the filename
is annoying stuff that needs String-module or a for-loop.
But not seldom, it's needed to extract the extension from a file.
above,

So all in all, a Filename.get_suffix would be helpful in any case.
