The current code folding is defined by the highlighter. Multiple
starts/ends in a single line is no problem, although it becomes more
difficult for the user.
Nested comments in the highlighter is a simple flag. It is enabled
as default, because the default pascal mode of lazarus is objfpc. But
the highlighter does not yet parse for mode directives, nor does the
IDE yet init the flag for Delphi mode sources.
You are welcome to send a patch for the highlighter (TSynPasSyn) to add
more code fold block types for try/procedure/function blocks.
