[issue37130] pathlib.Path.with_name() handles '.' and '..' inconsistently

[Brett Cannon]

Brett Cannon <brett at python.org> added the comment:

@Antoine: Basically Path.with_name() fails under '.' but works with '..' although with a somewhat odd result. And then after that is the fact that Path('.').name is the empty string but for Path('..').name it's '..' (which is what causes Path('.').with_name() to fail).
