I don't know what is okay in ISO Pascal :-(. But I do have a simple
question. How do you want to compare structured variables? Compare member by
member? I knew a very fine programming language (ELAN) in which it was possible
to define your own operator (`=', `<>' or whatever you wanted). Is it
possible to have this as an extension to Pascal?
