Which I agree with, and which makes sense. However your "gist" is a
different meaning. It's not that "Flat is better than nested" it's
that "Too flat is bad and too flat is nested so be as nested (or as
flat) as you have to be and no more." Perhaps Tim Peters is far too
concise for my feeble mind <wink>
