This seems more like an advertisement of D than practical new information for compiler construction. Nesting functions is the basic feature of functional languages. Moreover even procedural Algol based languages such as Pascal have always supported them, too. This information is also taught in basic university level compiler courses. Now that I checked what wikipedia had to say to the matter, it also seemed to mention D. Apparently 'c-like syntax' plus 'advanced feature <foo>' always equals 'innovation'.
