Comment:

 A test case has been added to operations_test.cpp. It passes just fine,
 and a display of the error code values shows 2 and 3 on Windows:

   Windows `error_code` values \\
   -------------------------------- \\
     `2  ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND` \\
     `3  ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND`
 See https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-

 us/library/windows/desktop/ms681382(v=vs.85).aspx

 So it looks like you are confusing Windows specific `error_code` values
 with the portable `error_condition` values:

   Generic `error_condition` values \\
   ------------------------------------- \\
     `2  no_such_file_or_directory` \\
     `3  no_such_process`

  The ticket is being closed, but the tests are worth keeping so remain in
 operations_test.cpp.
