Hum... After sending that, I read Johan Råde's "parent" suggestion.
I really like parent_path() for the current branch_path().
That leaves leaf(). tail() is arguably slightly better, but not by a
lot. Other possibilities:
leaf() // cryptic
tail() // slightly better
right() // cryptic
rightmost() // better
rightmost_name() // very explicit, but longish

no existing code will break. Semantics remain unchanged.
