    Filenames; originally added for ST-80 compatibility, is

    taking over functionality from other classes (FileDirectory).

    Instances of Filename do not nescessarily represent valid or existing

    files - i.e. it is possible (and useful) to have instances for non-existing

    files around. In other words: the name-string is not checked automatically

    for being correct or existing.

    Thus, it is possible to do queries such as:

    (all of the above examples will probably return false on your machine ;-).

    examples:

    Beside lots of protocol to query for a files attributes, the class

    protocol offers methods for filename completion, to construct pathes

    (in an OS-independent way) and to create temporary files.

    Especially the path-construction methods (i.e. #construct:) are highly

    recommended in order to avoid having OS details (like directory separators

    being slash or backslash) spreaded in your application.
