[Cuis-dev] A bug in handling nested #outer exceptions

[Jaromir Matas]

Hi Juan,

I agree #outer doesn’t have much use; my objective was to learn the implementation and incidentally I discovered it’s broken… so just reporting it :) It might be worth mentioning the bug in the image so that people don’t struggle with the code… Or integrate the test as expected failure to keep track of the issue?

Best regards,
Jaromir

Hi Jaromir,

I agree that it looks broken. But I can't really see what is the purpose
of #outer, or think an example where this is relevant.
Anybody knows better?

Thanks,
