Very true. Though, we use logging profusely throughout our application
which, albeit, indirectly, writes stuff to the disk (most certainly using
File objects) - I guess we must be draconian. :-)

PS-
I just peeked at File.getName(), It does the same thing:
--- SNIP ---
public String getName() {
int index = path.lastIndexOf(separatorChar);
if (index < prefixLength) return path.substring(prefixLength);
return path.substring(index + 1);
}

One could say that operating on File objects, directly, infringes on the
concept of a "container", depending on how draconian you are.
