This does not include:
^ deref
- unary minus
. accessing a member of a class/record (not unary)

Assuming they are in the "Highest" group, then they have same precedence 
as "@".
In an expression containing a mix, I would assume a left to right order.

However this does not compile (project1.lpr(6,10) Error: Illegal qualifier)
   {$T+}  var i: integer
   if @i^ = 0 then ;

If left to right had taken place, then the above would be equal to
   if (@i)^ = 0 then ;
And that compiles.

So it appears that ^ takes precedence over @ ? Or is this a bug?

It also appears that the "." takes precedence over @
@Object.Foo
is equal to
@(Object.Foo)
well otherwise it could not compile
