These are rare circumstances and should not discourage one from generally
using nested routines.

It only appears to limit code reuse. In actuallity, it encourages code reuse
since its much easier and generally safer to promote a nested routine than
it is to extract a code segment from the middle of a large routine. Further
the thought process used to identify appropriate nesting also encourages one
to think about reuse.
