Description
A minor thing, but I would expect CPLGetExtention(".b") to return "b". Instead, it returns an empty string ("").
Not likely to cause issues, but the behavior does not match the documentation.

I don't see any real point in keeping that open. Behaviour of CPLGetExtension() when it is only an extension is unclear. And I can't see any use case for that in GDAL.

goatbar, I'm not sure this is wrong. A file name may have an extension, but by your logic, the string would only have an extension, and no filename. '.b' is a valid unix filename as far as I know.
