yes but not with *generic* objects. I find it very hard to understand why this
is being blocked for objects. Without this there is no way to have *generic*

Hi,
what about overloading operators for OBJECTs?
They do not conflict with any default operators.
I expected this to work, but it did not compile:
type generic TXQHashset = object //(specialize
TXQBaseHashmap)...

Hi,
what about overloading operators for OBJECTs?

I expected this to work, but it did not compile:
type generic TXQHashset = object //(specialize
TXQBaseHashmap)...
class operator =(const a, b: TXQHashset): boolean;
end;
