For C, I agree, mostly because C has no nested functions.

 GCC implements nested functions in the C compiler. Though oddly, not in C+

C++ already has functions nested in namespaces, namespaces nested in namespaces, functions nested in classes (static and non-static member functions), and classes nested in classes. It's already a lot of nesting, no need to complicate the matters more.
In Pascal, function nesting is used for better encapsulation of data. In C++, the same is achieved in a cleaner and more explicit way via classes and member functions, so no need for this kind of nesting.
