we already have them in free pascal for a couple of years iirc and I've
never used them.
That's because they are quite limited if you have dynamic, non garbage collected
objects.
For .NET that is no problem, since the objects are GCed, and for C++ they are
static.
But for native Delphi, there is no good solution to do OO without a thick
helper layer.
I remember I've successfully used them with refcounted interfaces in a demo

but still doing
a + b or a.add(b) it's not that different and maybe the second is clearer;
