They are handled in so far that operator overloads in records are respected
as well if the operator was available at the time the generic was
*declared* (cause that scope will be used at specialization time). I have
plans to test a change in this, but I don't know yet whether it should make
it into trunk...

Good to know. Any regressions with ordinary sets?
