Yes, it will not work everywhere and not for nested procedures.
I knew about the nested procedures restriction but thought that no one
still uses nested procedures. Personally, I have stopped using them. Why
will I hide a perfectly useful procedure inside another when all I want
is to spare me rewriting over and over the same thing. Are nested
procedures coming from the Pascal heritage where everything was residing
inside the main program? By the same matter, who is still using the
'separate' construct for writing new applications?
