 {{{
 Before:
 path("c:\\file") == "c:\\file" //true
 path("c:\\file") == "c:/file" //true

 Current:
 path("c:\\file") == "c:\\file" //false
 path("c:\\file") == "c:/file" //true

 I found the comment in path.hpp:
 //  operator == uses string compare rather than !(lhs < rhs) && !(rhs <
 lhs) because
 //  the result is the same yet the direct string compare is much more
 efficient that
 //  lexicographical_compare, and lexicographical_compare used twice at
 that.

 Is it intended?
