argh, sub-nested I forgot.

I haven't tested this patch, but I guess with you might get
some "excess struct member" warnings, since the value of
'nested' is just the content of the last match.
Here is what I have done in the python version:
https://github.com/return42/linuxdoc/commit/8d9394
and here is the impact:
https://github.com/return42/sphkerneldoc/commit/2ff22cf82de3236c1ec7616bd4b65ce2aedd2a90
As you can see in my linked patch above, I implemented it by
hand and collected all the 'nested' stuff. I guess this
is impossible with regexpr.
I recommend to do something similar with the perl script.
Since your perl is better than my; could you please prepare such a v3 patch?
Thanks!
