| Instead of introducing OS dependence (with all those #+ delimiters), I'd

| and the original file{name,type} appended to the pathname-directory list.

  that was _almost_ code.

(defun pathname-as-directory (pathname)
  (setq pathname (pathname pathname))
  (let ((filename (file-namestring pathname)))
    (if filename
      (make-pathname :defaults pathname
		     :directory (append (pathname-directory pathname)
					(list filename))
		     :name nil :type nil :version nil)
      pathname)))
