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).

Also I've answered to a "threat" to this protection by leledumbo.

And I agree with you that this proposal of function based operators is
un-Pascal-ish and thus I won't support them either.

Sven
