Modes & modeswitches are supported, but -Mobjfpc does not switch on C style operators.

You need -Sc, just as in FPC, the -M command-line switch is not supported by
the ParseSource() routine, it has only a limited set of options implemented.

if you need/want more control, you can just create the scanner and parser, and
set any flag you want: the ParseSource is a simple routine that will set up
the parser/scanner with some very basic options.
