Pharo has it like this as well, so it is also an unnecessary incompatibility:
extension
"Return the extension of path basename i.e., /foo/gloops.taz

The original author might either have just documented that status quo,
or thought of something like .tar.gz. Again Pharo has changed this to
"Note that the extension of a complex extension starts after the last
extension delimiter".
