As you say, it's a minor thing (either way) but I've never had the
need for a `with_stem` method. Do you have a real-life use case (as
opposed to just wanting it for completeness)?
Having a real example would help decide the appropriate behaviour for
corner cases like x.with_stem('name.ext'). Your two suggested
equivalents behave differently in that case:
>>> old_path = Path(r"C:\x.txt")
>>> old_path.with_name("y.xxx" + old_path.suffix)
WindowsPath('C:/y.xxx.txt')
>>> old_path.with_name("y.xxx").with_suffix(old_path.suffix)
WindowsPath('C:/y.txt')
