Subject: Re: Nested functions

Guilty here! but I limit using it to small functions that are only needed by
another function (by definition really). I've found them to aid clarity when
used sparingly and they're better than macros for the same purpose since
they're scoped. Just plopping everything in globally can be worse imho. From
what I've seen I _think_ I'm the only one that has used nested functions.

As for multiple statements or use of the comma operator, same thing as far
as not going overboard and not on complicated expressions.

If either of those are ever stricty forbidden I'll of course change habits.

Mike
