These functions don't access the filesystem. @bold{Warning}: these functions adopt the simplifying assumption that the paths are encoded as ASCII or UTF-8. A fully precise treatment of paths would need to handle them as byte strings. If you need that, see the functions in @racketmodname[racket/path]. This library will remain naive.
Remove the last file extension of @racket[_file-path], and return the path that remains. If @racket[_file-path] has no extension, you just get the same @racket[_file-path]. Does not use the filesystem.
@examples[#:eval my-eval

(remove-ext "/path/to/foo.txt")
(remove-ext "/path/to/foo.txt.bar")
(remove-ext (remove-ext "/path/to/foo.txt.bar"))]

Like @racket[remove-ext], just more. Remove all file extensions from @racket[_file-path], and return the path that remains. If @racket[_file-path] has no extensions, you just get the same @racket[_file-path]. Does not use the filesystem.
Return a new @racket[_file-path] with @racket[_ext] appended. Note that this does not replace an existing file extension. If that's what you want, then do @racket[(add-ext (remove-ext _file-path) _ext)].
