This is not really a problem of the nesting. That is, from a
user's perspective it should not be. I think, that the nesting
structure of the underlying commands should be irrelevant for
the users and that the graph commands schould be fixed!
(i.e. the strings should only be interpreted once and passed
through using macval() thereafter. I don't see why this would
not be possible.)
