I've run into two issues with nested functions that I think should be fixed. As is, it seems that the nested functions are scarcely more than syntax sugar for delegates.

1. Overloading:

void main()
{
    void test() {}
    void test(int a) {}
}

No good reason why that shouldn't work. This is described in the spec, but no good reason is given.

2. Reusing same function name in different scopes:

void main()
{
    { void test() {} }
    { void test() {} }
}

This won't compile either. This limitation isn't even described in the spec as far as I can tell.
