How about:
take top level /start/ .. /end/ blocks, including nested /start/ .. /end/ blocks
Well, that looks like the intention anyway. Intersting stuff.

It's unfortunate that the level of nesting needs to be known in advance. The solution would be to replace the use of the binary flip-flop operator with the numeric flip-flop operator. Ie the operator that pre-increments every time its left hand operand is true, and post-decrements every time its right hand operand is true, stays the same otherwise, and returns the result of the calculation.

For some reason, I can't "remember" how the operator is written. Ie what should replace .. to make it numeric, not binary? Any suggestions?
