above code can be compiled. But if I uncomment the declaration of tIS --
map class type as key, fpc fail to compile and print out these error msgs:

This has nothing to do with < and > in the declaration.
TFPGMap uses < and > comparisons for key comparisons, so these operators
need to be overloaded. You can't use global operators here, because of
scope problems, so you need to use either a different type or wrap them in
a record with operators.
