Remarks
This differs from GetDirectoryName(String) in that it will see if last name in path is
a directory and, if it exists, will properly treat that part of path as a directory. The .NET path
function always assumes last entry is a file name if path is not suffixed with a slash. For example:
Path.GetDirectoryName(@"C:\Music") will return "C:\", however,
FilePath.GetDirectoryName(@"C:\Music") will return "C:\Music\", so long as Music directory exists.
