I can't see how the current behavior is at all better or to be preferred unless it is faster to compile? What is the reason for it being how it is?
The current behavior is easy to specify and simple to implement, and it is what Walter has implemented. A better behavior that is almost as simple to implement would be to insert nested functions into the symbol table in blocks of back-to-back-defined nested functions, but that would be a breaking language change at this point. (Maybe you can get a DIP though though.) Otherwise, the template workaround is a bit ugly but it works and is non-intrusive.
