Description Eli Friedman 2009-06-02 03:16:48 PDT 
Even if clang never ends up supporting nested functions, it would be nice if we could detect what's going on and give an easily recognizable error message.  Currently, it gives "expected ';' at end of declaration", which isn't obvious without going in and looking at the file in question.
