current functionality of basename:

basename atest /this/is/a/sample/atest-data.filename
atest
basename atest atest-data.filename
atest
basename atest-data atest-data.filename
atest-data

suggested new functionality as you propose indeed:

basename --prefix /this/is/a/sample/atest /this/is/a/sample/atest-data.filename
-data.filename
basename --prefix atest /this/is/a/sample/atest-data.filename
-data.filename
basename --prefix atest /this/is/a/sample/atest-data.filename .filename
-data
