There is already sub_ext method for Pathname, but there is no sub_ext! to modify the object itself instead of returning a new one.

Pathname is a value object so having methods that modify it is, well,
rather a big no-no.

(Note how the article uses strings as an example, which sadly aren’t
immutable in Ruby.)
