Doesn't this make sense?

class Fruit

class Apple: Fruit

      class AppleSeed: Fruit.Seed { }

This means, that as Fruit.Seed needs access to enclosing Fruit,
AppleSeed, being a Fruit.Seed will also have access to enclosing Fruit,
which is Apple.
DMD 0.259 has this to say:

Error: class main.Apple.AppleSeed is nested within Apple, but super
class Seed is nested within Fruit

Which doesn't make sense, IMO. What do you guys think about this? Who
makes more sense me or DMD 2.059?

Untested:

class Fruit
{
    static class Seed { }
}

class Apple: Fruit
{
     static class AppleSeed: Fruit.Seed { }
}
