As I under it, a nested function (in GCC) is something
like:
   -void foo () {
       void bar () { printf( "Nested.\n" ); }
        ...
       bar();
        ...
   }

Are we talked 'bout the same thing-ama-do ?

PS: As I recall, nested functions was one of gcc features
that couldn't be used on "[pain-in-the] AIX". See
