Add this to Abigail's benchmark.

    aristotle => 'foreach my $f (@files) {
                      my ($fn) = reverse($f) =~ m!^(.*?)/?!s;
                      $fn = reverse $fn;
                  }',

Reversing the string (twice!) may be costly, but the simplicity of the regex offsets this. Note that [^/]+ would have been much slower. .*? has been treated to special optimizations.

Makeshifts last the longest.
