Like this. I would prefer there being a “ClassSelf” type or something which acted as TSelf.

type
	TRecord = record
		public type
			TSelf = TRecord;
		public
			class operator + (left: TSelf; right: integer): TSelf;
			class operator + (left: TSelf; right: integer): TSelf;
			class operator - (left: TSelf; right: integer): TSelf;
			class operator * (left: TSelf; right: integer): TSelf;
			class operator / (left: TSelf; right: integer): TSelf;
			class operator ** (left: TSelf; right: integer): TSelf;
			class operator div (left: TSelf; right: integer): TSelf;
			class operator mod (left: TSelf; right: integer): TSelf;
