There is one minor issue: lastPathComponent is not necessarily the true name.
There's a possibility of localization, but there's also the possibility that a
name contains a / character, which will be returned here as a :.
Whether that's an issue or not depends on what you are going to do with the
list. In some cases what you want probably *is* the lastPathComponent rather
than the name (when you plan to move it and do so using a POSIX path, for
example), but in others not.
So it's worth keeping in mind that it won't necessarily match what, say, the
Finder or System Events return for name. And getting the actual user-facing
name is a little more work in ASObjC.
