Nesting of Format Specifications
The group of format and edit descriptors in a format specification can
include one or more other groups enclosed in parentheses (called groups
at nested level n). Each group at nested level 1 can include one or more
other groups at nested level 2; those at level 2 can include groups at
nested level 3, and so forth.
