Good question. Indeed I have used nested branches until now. But I find
the nesting annoying, and I always have to pause to think what should I
nest in what? But thinking about it more, perhaps your proposed feature
would work for what I want. I don't have much time to think about this
more now, but I do like that we're having this discussion. Perhaps we
should write down a few use cases that would motivte which features we
consider.

My use case: product documentation with differences for its many
modifications and versions.
I also think this could be useful. Probably not for 2.4, though. (I'll be
emailing about that soon.) But improving the visuals for inversion, etc, can be
done right away.
Done in the attached patch. Now just with adding "~" to inverted insets,
I think it is more visible than "!".
A related thing some people have wanted is for LyX to output a LaTeX
conditional depending upon branches. So e.g. we'd have:
\newif\LyXBranchName
\LyXBranchNametrue
if the branch is active, and the obvious alternative otherwise. In that case,
we could also offer the option of outputting all branches to LaTeX, but
conditionalizing them this way.

Yes, this way LaTeX export result will be closer to LyX source.
