Some time ago, I sent in a documentation patch for the UserGuide, but nothing seems to happen. I was under the impression that this is a time for doc patches, before 1.4 The patch corrected some errors, several environments can be nested but the current userguide claims they cannot. Please tell if there is anything wrong with the patch, I can try to fix it before 1.4.0. My english isn't great, but this was mostly moving stuff from the unnestable list to the nestable list.
