Added. I had it on my TODO list already:) See it here:
http://michalis.ii.uni.wroc.pl/~michalis/modern_pascal_introduction/modern_pascal_introduction.html#_operator_overloading
.

I documented also overriding operators for classes and records, and
mentioned the need for "class operator" on records to be able to work
with TFPGList and such.

> 2) use of ClassType function for cloning objects

I added two things:

- A section about TPersistent.Assign. This is the "basic approach to
cloning" that should probably be shown first. See it here:
http://michalis.ii.uni.wroc.pl/~michalis/modern_pascal_introduction/modern_pascal_introduction.html#_cloning_tpersistent_assign
. I mentioned the special rules when calling the "inherited" from
Assign overrides, and AssignTo, and the fact that TPersistent makes
the default visibility "published".

- And the ClassType, with the example of Clone method using it, is
added at the desciption of "class references" on
http://michalis.ii.uni.wroc.pl/~michalis/modern_pascal_introduction/modern_pascal_introduction.html#_class_references
.
