Generally speaking, I think functions local to a function (or template) are
not an especially good idea. I used them in Pascal, and the net result was
some very large functions containing lots of functions which in turn
contained their own functions, and the code became very hard to read. It was
very hard to tell what was in scope at any given time.

Yes I well remember The Wirth User Manual and Report on Pascal
and using local functions in that language. My experience was similar
to yours and I didn't particularly coding that way. However since some
latter day languages still support local functions, I was wondering if
somehow they were still in vogue.
