Heh... yes but it can't be that computationally intenstive because there are
other editors that handle nested comments (e.g. "ED", emacs, etc).

However, it's probably a lot of work to implement for very little gain.  On the
other hand issues like artifacts with +b2 are more important to resolve (btw the
render time difference that it makes can be significant - 30% faster in many
cases, which is fantastic).
