Yes!

Is it that Arithmetic probably more common when using
TCustomVariant?
if so it would be a nice way to encapsulate/hide a
whole lot of
(Linux) C/C++ pointer offset arithmetic without
exposing pointers,
(or using PChars for everything)
Wonder if the Kylix dev.'s got sick of creating Add
methods
on every Variant and threw it in.

Know what operations will be available? Is it only the
four
arithmetic ops.?
