Have you ever used a language that supports nested routines? I suspect that it's
much like the for-in loop. Sure, you can program with out it, but once you use
it, you'll miss it.

One could ask, what can be done with a for-in loop that couldn't be done w/a
simple for loop? The answer is easy... nothing! But why use a for loop if you
have access to a for-in loop and your iterating a sequence?

Nested routines is the same thing.
