Compares the lexical representations of the path and another path.

1) Returns a value less than, equal to or greater than 0 if the native representation of the path (native()) is respectively lexicographically less than, equal to or greater than the native representation of p (p.native()).
2) Equivalent to compare(path(str)).
3) Equivalent to compare(path(s)).
