Nested parentheses

If one can reasonably nest quotation marks, one can reasonably nest
parentheses. (Unfortunately, unlike the case with quotation marks,
where British editors, at least, have always had the choice of
employing a progression from single to double marks to indicate the
level of nesting, there isn't a similar choice of single or double
marks for parentheses. [Square brackets can be used, of course. But
they aren't clearly double marks.])
