Thinking about this a bit, I my gut says having Path('.').name == '.' makes more sense than returning ''. My reasoning is that in any case where there's a single value -- e.g. Path('spam') -- you end up with the part returned in `name`. That suggests to me that '.' isn't any more special or ambiguous than 'spam' or '..'.

Antoine, what do you think?
