	One of the big differences between C and Pascal is precisely that the
Pascal standard allows definitions of function inside another while the
C standard doesn't (or so I always thought). Something to do with the
ability to return a function as the result of a function call. I don't
know the exact position of C++ in this respect but I assumed it followed
the C standard.
