While working on a solution to #386, I ran into a circular dependency problem when I tried to use the filename/path/extension functions in the file library in the string library.
The file library includes the string library, so when I tried to include the file library in the string library it created a circular dependency which led to a stack overflow.
Since these functions are really string functions the string library is really the proper home for them.
I left the original functions in place, rewritten to just call the string functions, to maintain compatibility with all of the existing scripts.
