While I can get such answer, shouldn't be such sentence builded into
documentation instead of "directives can appear in almost any place in
the scene file - even in the middle of some other statements". You
wrote "the behavior of nesting directives inside other directives is
not specified". What about #macro inside #macro? #switch inside
#switch? Or mixing: #local inside #macro? This subject should be IMO
described little more within documentation.
