 Description: 

    File.Basename - A library that provides unix-like tools 'dirname' and 'basename'
    (Grabbed from JSAN, modified syntax.)

 Example:

   File.basename('/javascripts/bin.js',2) // => bin.js
   File.dirname('/javascripts/bin.js',2) // => /javascripts
   File.path('/javascripts/bin.js',1) // => /javascripts/bin.js
   File.platform('/javascripts/bin.js',2) // => 2
   File.platformString('/javascripts/bin.js',2) // => Macintosh
   File.platformString('/javascripts/bin.js',1) // => Windows
   File.platformString('/javascripts/bin.js',2) // => Macintosh
   File.platformString('/javascripts/bin.js',3) // => UNIX
   File.platformString('/javascripts/bin.js',4) // => undefined
