### 2650. [filesys.ts] [PDTS] `path::compare(const string& s)` wrong argument type

`path` has "`int compare(const string& s) const;`" but it should almost certainly take `const string_type&`, since the third overload takes `const value_type*`.

[2014-02-08 Daniel comments and provides wording]

This issue is the same as 2643 and resolves that issue as well.

[2014-02-13 LWG/SG-3 Issaquah: Proposed wording accepted.]

Proposed resolution:

This wording is relative to SG3 working draft.

1. Change class `path` synopsis, 8 [class.path], as indicated:

   >     // compare
   >     int compare(const path& p) const noexcept;
   >     int compare(const string_type& s) const;
   >     int compare(const value_type* s) const;

2. Change `path compare` prototype specification, 8.4.8 [path.compare], as indicated:

   >     int compare(const string_type& s) const;
