The methods .with_name() and .with_suffix() of pathlib.Path (and friends) do not allow a name or suffix to be added to a path alone -- I get ValueError(... has an empty name...).

This is the documented behavior, but it seems incredibly user-unfriendly.

There is no a bug. This is the documented and reasonable behavior. What behavior you expect?

Never mind.
