Hi,

I too noticed this.

As a workaround one can use comments at the end of the line, after the items,
like:

        tcp dport {
            21, #normal FTP
            2121 # patched FTP
        } counter accept

Or abuse line continuation:

        tcp dport { \
            # normal FTP
            21, \
            # patched FTP
            2121
        } counter accept

But both tricks are quite ugly IMHO.

It would be great if comments could be used more freely.

Ciao,
   Antonio
