Also, according to http://dlang.org/struct.html:

	A nested struct is a struct that is declared inside the scope of
	a function or a templated struct that has aliases to local
	functions as a template argument. Nested structs have member
	functions. It has access to the context of its enclosing scope
	(via an added hidden field).
