The method names can be choosen freely:
"
 complexty = object
  real,imm: flo64;
  method add(const a,b: complexty): complexty ['+'];
  method sub(const a,b: complexty): complexty ['-'];
  method mulblabla(const a,b: complexty): complexty ['*'];
  method tostring8(const source: complexty): string8 [':='];
  method tostring16(const source: complexty): string16 [':='];
 end;

 complex2ty object(complexty)
  scale: flo64;
  method addscaled(const a,b: complexty): complexty ['+'];
  method subscaled(const a,b: complexty): complexty ['-'];
 end;
"
so "operator" instead of an attachment would not work.
"
 complexty = object
  real,imm: flo64;
  operator add(const a,b: complexty): complexty;
  operator sub(const a,b: complexty): complexty;
  operator mulblabla(const a,b: complexty): complexty;
  operator tostring8(const source: complexty): string8;
  operator tostring16(const source: complexty): string16;
 end;

 complex2ty object(complexty)
  scale: flo64;
  operator addscaled(const a,b: complexty): complexty;
  operator subscaled(const a,b: complexty): complexty;
 end;
"
Also
"
  method add(const a,b: complexty): complexty ['+'];
"
can be used as ordinary object method so I don't think it should be 
named "operator".

"
method complexty.add(const a,b: complexty): complexty;
begin
 result.real:= a.real + b.real;
 result.imm:= a.imm + b.imm;
end;

var
 a,b,c: complexty;
[...]
 a:= b + c;
 a:= add(b,c);
"
