OK, I suspected as much.  I think I shall go off and try to
craft a syntax for a "logical" such extensions, so it can be shot
down in more detail!

The only snags I can think of off the top of my head are:  taste
and decency;  and perhaps heavy reliance on the offside rule,
which might be a bad thing if equation groups get infeasibly large.

Surely this would also be true of any reasonable formulation
of nested ones?

Slainte,
