Which is better in ObjFPC as it allows nesting of comments.

callback for api...)

AFAIK that's a general problem we currently have with static and not just
restricted to mode ObjFPC. At least in my opinion the assignment of such
methods to normal procedure variables should be possible no matter which
mode is selected.

That's by design.

On the other hand complex inline specialization expressions work in mode
ObjFPC, while they don't in mode Delphi...
