I was thinking more about the need to nest "for" statements to a depth of 20 levels, which I imagine only arises on a "just in case" basis for the inquirer. In other words, the inquirer may have input that could theoretically demand twenty levels of state, each level provided by a single "for" statement, but in practice they might only need to manage a few levels of state. In any case, we're potentially seeing the use of the wrong tool for the job, and I am speculating that functions would be the right tool, but unless the inquirer is willing to show the code (which I haven't seen in this thread yet), it's hard to speculate further.
