If "compare" doesn't mean "equals", then a better name should be used, 
otherwise that too is up for incorrect interpretation.

If operator overload exists for the types then sure, but as you know I 
like OOP approaches to things.

Also is TPoint a record or a object or a class?

In fpGUI the equivalent of TPoint and TRect are object types and has 
many related methods defined inside them. I don't believe p1 = p2 is 
going to work with the object data type.
