It's an advanced record with methods and operator overloads:

> 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.

For object types you'll need to declare global operator overloads to use
e.g. the = operator (which have the disadvantage that they don't work with
generics... at least not yet :/ ).
