I thought so at the first sight but then I saw that he is using the
--morph-anonymous option which means all type nesting is flattened
automatically. As a result there should not be more than 3 levels
of nesting.

There are also other cases where VC++ has hard-coded limits. One
such case is a long if-else-if-else chain. Apparently, VC++ treats
them as nested scopes and if you have a couple of hundreds of those
it complains. This problem was reported with large XML Schema
enumerations and was since fixed. Also the fact that the error is
in the .cxx file suggests that the problem is not with type nesting.
We will know for sure when we see the code ;-).

Thanks for the hint!
