Path.compareTo(Path()

[Christian Schlichtherle]

The Javadoc says:

 

This method may not be used to compare paths that are associated with
different file system providers.

 

Whereas Path.equals(Object) says:

 

If the given object is not a Path, or is a Path associated with a different
{@code FileSystem}, then this method returns {@code false}

 

This is inconsistent. If required at all, both methods should discriminate
on the FileSystem, not the FileSystemProvider.
