Entertain them?
Anyways, removing nested functions is not something I want to do. But
we could have a case to case look if it would be possible to not use
local variables without making the code obscure. I assume we can find
all of the locations by having a look at some errors or warnings,
perhaps those from the compile log that was sent in. But I still
prefer having a sane solution to make it work.
The apple specific case won't be fixed this way. But I can not help
that apple disabled this feature while it doesn't even rely on an
executable stack in all cases.
