A global operator won't help at all as (currently) the operator won't
be visible during the specialization. Only if the operator is visible
during the *generic's* declaration it would be picked up.
That is contrary to the class operator, which is also only visible during
specialization, after all.
Is there a reason for this behaviour ?
The operator of a record is visible together with the record, however a
global operator is not. When specializing the unit scope of the
declaration of the *generic* is restored thus no helpers or global
operators of the current scope are visible except they are part of the
type parameter.
I do want to try to change this in the future, but I need to be careful
to not open a different can of worms (as Delphi doesn't do it this way).

Sven
