Using the "type" behind the "=" tells the compiler to declare a new type
based on the right side.
So a "Double" and a "Real" are not assignment compatible and can have
different sets of operator overloads.

Thanks for the answer.
I already suspected such a definition.

But why is it not part of the documentation?
If nobody takes care of the documentation anymore
then it should better be removed at all.

I am well aware that documentation needs updating. The SVN logs will convince you that it is updated on a regular basis.

I usually respond positively to all requests for updates, as my other reply 
proves.

That is, provided they are put in a positive form, and not with a dosis of 
poison as you just provided.

If you insist on being negative, please find another mailing list to do so.

Michael.
