Ok, what is so neat about that?

I cannot see the point, when if one wants to use a second function inside a 
first function, another external function should be callable.  Haven't tried it 
recently.  Maybe I should.  Perhaps I should know what I'm talking about at 
least once a year.

But I can see no reason to have a function defined inside another function.
