If you look at TFPSMap' code you'll see that BinaryCompareKey and BinaryCompareData are 
only used in the way of method pointers OnKeyPtrCompare and OnDataPtrCompare. In 
TFPGMap<,> these are then set to compare methods specific to the specialization, most 
importantly TFPGMap<,>.KeyCompare if no custom compare function is set.
There's no many levels of indirection here I got confused. I see this method below 
and so maybe the <> operators are overloaded for short strings?

function TFPGMap.KeyCompare(Key1, Key2: Pointer): Integer;
begin
   if PKey(Key1)^ < PKey(Key2)^ then
     Result := -1
   else if PKey(Key1)^ > PKey(Key2)^ then
     Result := 1
   else
     Result := 0;
end;
All four string types provide built in > and < operators:

=== code begin ===

program tstrcmp;

{$mode objfpc}{$H+}

var
  ss1, ss2: ShortString;
  as1, as2: AnsiString;
  us1, us2: UnicodeString;
  ws1, ws2: WideString;

begin
  ss1 := 'Hello';
  ss2 := 'World';
  as1 := 'Hello';
  as2 := 'World';
  us1 := 'Hello';
  us2 := 'World';
  ws1 := 'Hello';
  ws2 := 'World';

  Writeln('ShortString: ', ss1 < ss2, ' ', ss1 > ss2);
  Writeln('AnsiString: ', as1 < as2, ' ', as1 > as2);
  Writeln('UnicodeString: ', us1 < us2, ' ', us1 > us2);
  Writeln('WideString: ', ws1 < ws2, ' ', ws1 > ws2);
end.
