<p>I am talking about the C operators here as the compiler supports them. As Florian wrote they were contributed in '96, so they are part of FPC's heritage and thus they are object to the same backwards compatibility protection as any other feature we currently support (bugs in those features excluded).</p>
<p>Also I've answered to a "threat" to this protection by leledumbo.</p>
<p>And I agree with you that this proposal of function based operators is un-Pascal-ish and thus I won't support them either.</p>
