To my knowledge, the . and ^ are not considered operators, they are "part
of the identifier".
Ok, so they are evaluated before everything else.
Curious though (I can see that the "." is not an operator (it was not what
got me started anyway), but the ^ ?
It is the same kind (just reverse) of the @, so why is one an operator, and
the other not?
There is a substantial difference in semantics:
You can take the address of anything.
But you cannot dereference anything except a pointer.
If it was up to me, @ would not have been in the operator list either,
but Borland considered it so...
