Big mess indeed. I can wrap my head around nested types in classes because
they’re necessary for generics I just learned but nested classes feel messy. Is
there at least some namespace protection? That would be a benefit I suppose if
the class was only ever used inside that class but a unit may be a better
option in that case.
