[fpc-pascal] Custom assignment operators

[Mark Morgan Lloyd]

A few weeks ago somebody (Martin?) suggested I got round an endianness 
issue by doing this:

type    WordLE= packed record b0, b1: byte; end;

operator := (wle: WordLE): word;

begin
..

It works well, except that attempting to use an assignment inside the 
operator definition immediately recurses: I've fixed this by using 
Move(), with operand sizes check by assertion.

Is it possible to tell the compiler that, for a code fragment like this, 
it is under no circumstances to attempt any implicit type conversions?
