Do we really need to spell out the case for primitives and arrays? If
so would it suffice to add the following:
"A class or interface that is not explicitly a member of a nest *(such
as primitive or array classes)*, is a member of the nest consisting
only of itself, and is the nest host. Every class and interface is a
member of exactly one nest."
That's fine, but then someone might wonder whether only primitive and
array classes are not explicit members of a nest.
What about:
"A class or interface that is not explicitly a member of a nest
*(including but not limited to primitive and array classes)*, is a
member of the nest consisting only of itself, and is the nest host.
Every class and interface is a member of exactly one nest."
But "including but not limited to" is just a more verbose way of saying
"such as". "such as x" introduces an example case x, hence "including
x", but is not exhaustive and so covers "not limited to x".
