I personally think that there is a better case for an ignore_case flag – the
number of times that I have been caught out with [‘a.doc’, ‘b.Doc’, ‘c.DOC’]
especially on MS platforms.

For edge cases like that, something like
`"thesis.doc.doc".removesuffix(".doc").removesuffix(".doc")` should suffice,
no? It may not be the cleanest looking solution, but IMO, it's better than
over-complicating the method for something that would be used rarely at best.

The only cases I can remember are files named things like
"thesis.doc.doc" in GUI environments. ;-)
