However, the second one doesn't work well if you're in "/" or a
directory whose immediate parent is "/", in which case you get an empty
string. The first gives you an empty string if you're in "/", which may
or may not be acceptable for you. It is different than what basename and
dirname yield, certainly.

True. To match the behavior of both dirname and basename, you'd need to
check for an empty string and return '/' instead.
