Nested Classes — thoughts and workarounds

Hello community,

I've been playing with some idea which has brought me to needing Nested
Classes in Vim. I am curious what you think about this? Would this be too
much for Vimscript? If not, what current workarounds would you suggest?

Context: I'm taking a stab at parsing protobuf definitions into Vim 9
classes. Nested messages in the protobuf demands
<https://arc.net/l/quote/qfcssecm> nested structs/classes.

Constraints:

   - (strong) All code-gen must be in vim9script; else how would the
   language gain popularity?
   - (weak) All definitions should be in one file

Current workarounds

   1. Regress into old VimL and use functions as classes. Then define
   internal "structures" as internal functions.
   2. Create a directory where each file is a top-level message class
   3. (current winner) Flatten the nesting, but only *export* top-level
   messages

What do you think? How can I approach this better?

Best,
Igbanam
