i list a few cases that doesn't match my expectations when it comes to
a high level lib dealing with file path parsing and manipulating:

(file-path-file-name (file-path "/tmp/foo/")) => "foo"

(file-path-file-type (file-path "/tmp/foo.bar/")) =>"bar"

(file-path-namestring (file-path "/tmp/foo/")) => "/tmp/foo"

this last one especially when interfacing with cl:ensure-directories-exist
