Speaking as one who has indented deeply when it felt appropriate, and
actually used a triply-indirect pointer (not nested structures, just a
few points where the code reached all the way to ***whatsit... and it
did work and seemed perfectly reasonable at the time it was written)...

That's scary.  Or was it intended as the single example for a long
afternoon demonstrating the effects of refactoring on code readability?
