Comparing paths has its own set of pitfalls: even if you’re not
concerned about symlinks, there’s case-insensitivity to deal with. I’m
not sure what the best way is to deal with that. You could canonicalize
each path; or you could convert each URL to an FSRef and then compare
those for equality.

If you were going to compare FSRefs (FSCompareFSRefs), you wouldn't need to convert to a path, just use CFURLGetFSRef via toll-free bridging.
