The rationale is that nobody has implemented it in DMD.

Ah, that "seems pointless" argument again.

I'm guessing it's related to -

Unlike module level declarations, declarations within function 
scope are processed in order.


And I'd suspect that the cleanest solution would be similar to 
the one given for interdependent functions: Declare the nested 
functions in a static nested struct instead.


Ok, thanks.
