- or so it feels like to the person who's experiencing it. Have you ever been that person, or come across such a situation? Many times. The hard thing about trying to provide use cases for this is that of course you can always find another way to write it. It's just that sometimes the nested function is a perfect solution at point in time A, and then at point in time B, a change in the program requires that the nested function mutate a bit of state, resulting in either a rewrite to do it the "right" way, or hacking mutable objects.
Well, not an actual example, but close enough. Leaving the rest to Guido
