Two paths are compared using lexicographical comparison, it says in the docs.
Looking at the implementation, it is case-sensitive lexicographical order.

BTW, the documentation only points

"Case sensitivity is a property of the pathname itself, and not the platform"

So, IMO it is correct to assume filesystem::path is case-sensitive
regardless OS.
