There is a difference between

   1 ; ((3 ; 4) ; 8 ; <8 ; 9) ; 10
+-+---------------+--+
|1|+-----+-+-----+|10|
| ||+-+-+|8|+-+-+||  |
| |||3|4|| ||8|9|||  |
| ||+-+-+| |+-+-+||  |
| |+-----+-+-----+|  |
+-+---------------+--+

and

   1; ((3,4); 8; (8,9)); 10
+-+-----------+--+
|1|+---+-+---+|10|
| ||3 4|8|8 9||  |
| |+---+-+---+|  |
+-+-----------+--+
