To simplify the function protocol. Currently, it's kinda lopsided: path
'a' must be valid, which is checked by an assertion, while path 'b' may
not be valid, in which case special comparison rules are applied. I find
such an asymmetry rather unnatural for a comparison function. I'd prefer
if we either allowed both paths to be invalid or required them both to
be valid.
