"Programming in Modula-2" Second Edition contains the "Report on The
Programming Language Modula-2", and only (* and *) are defined there
as delimiting comments.  It says that comments are nestable.

I also have a book on Pascal: "Pascal Handbuch" by E. Floegel.  In
Figure 3.31 on page 15 it shows (* and *), but not { and } as
"Verwendete Zeichen in Pascal" (used characters in Pascal, although
the intention is probably to show the symbolic lexemes).
