FPC also supports (. and .). It doesn't support (/ and /) though. Support for 
that could maybe be added under a new syntax mode or mode switch switch, but is 
this a common syntax? I've never heard of that one before.

I'd suggest avoiding (/ /) as comments.

Vector Pascal allows e.g. \+ as a reduction-addition operator, if FPC ever considered implementing anything like this it would be desirable to have \ and / unencumbered.
