basename feature request: allow many filenames

The current command-line usage of basename(1) doesn't let you
specify many filenames at once.  This stops you saying

% find . | xargs basename

(unless you use xargs -n 1, and that is slow).  Perhaps there
could be a new usage

    basename --many FILE...

to print the basename of each FILE in turn.
