it is, I wrote that method nesting should be prohibited, thus your 
second interpretation is invalid and thus there is no ambiguity.

Nested method definitions are mostly useless anyway because of the 
method scoping (actually, I think I never saw an example of using a 
nested def instead of a define_method in some years of rubying :)

But mind you: I'm not really advocating this thing, it has already 
proven non-obvious 3 or 4 times as of now, and thus it is  a Bad Idea(TM)
