Lexicographically compares two CMake paths component-by-component without
accessing the filesystem. Only if every component of both paths match will

No other :ref:`path normalization <Normalization>` is performed.
Trailing slashes are preserved, thus ``/a/b`` and ``/a/b/`` are not equal.
Component-wise comparison is superior to string-based comparison due to the
handling of multiple path separators. In the following example, the
