-----------------------------------------------------------
Sebb, the reason I went with changing the filename stem because of the side
effect of changing the extension. It could be simplified to something like
"filename stem.txt" -> "filename stem - *.txt" if that would be preferable.
I also thought about having the user be able to define how they would like the
change. Perhaps this is really the best overall solution and something I am
willing to help with if that is where this method should head.
I can change the name to nextOneUpFile as that is what was originally suggested
unless there is a better naming convention for a util of this type.
Also, is there a util that lets us know what the max file name length is for a
file? If there is, it would be trivial to add the check in to make sure it
isn't too long.

> Create a FileNameUtil or FileUtil facility that allows for creating a one-up
> extension on files that already exist.
> example:
> archive
> +-- file.txt
> +-- file.txt.1
> +-- file.txt.2
> {code}
> File file = FileNameUtils.nextOneUpFile("/archive/file.txt");
> System.out.println(file)
