    Do you know for a fact that Garden's Point Modula-2 produces
incorrect C?  Methods for mapping nested procedures into a "flat"
language like C were explicated in the article:
        N. Sundaresan, ``Translation of Nested Pascal
        Routines to C'', SIGPLAN Notices, v.25 n.5,
        May 1990, pp. 69-81.
