Some OO people claim nested functions are anathema to
good OO design. I have read the arguments, they relate to
cleanly dividing the problem up, and removing coupling.
Nested function have an implicit interface
(bad design concept) to their enclosing scope.
Not being a religious OO convert, and finding
in practice I could use nested functions here and there,
I would support their introduction, however.
