[ruby-core:94734] [Ruby master Bug#15244] Method #extname return empty string if filename is dot ('.')

Issue #15244 has been updated by matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto).

Status changed from Open to Feedback

`.git` is not an extension but a filename. `.a.jpg` has `.jpg` extension. I wonder how we can parse `..jpg`. It's undefined behavior for me. 
Any reasoning?
