   - older pascals don't support nested comments so (*(*  *) is equivalent to   
   (* *)   
   - newer compilers do support them, so comment remains open till the second   
   *) is found.   
      
   Free Pascal's behaviour depends on mode. TP compat mode (-So) behaves like TP   
   (first case), the others to the delphi  behaviour (second case)
