Operators are typically implemented as functions and therefore pose no problem. > But there was a reason, why FPC doesn't support that anymore. I don't know what that was but it is for sure a bad idea to allow getting an address of a property (for building the reference [parameter]) even if technically possible (i.e. the property is realized by a field/variable) because the realization could change and will then break the code.
