Description

We should figure out whether nesting of `REUSE-IgnoreStart` / `REUSE-IgnoreEnd` is supported.

If it is, we should support it as well. If it isn't, we should somehow explicitly generate an error (or whatever's required by the spec). If it's unclear, then open an issue for the specification repository.

See the code near this line: https://github.com/ForNeVeR/dotnet-reuse/blob/be3dd1818b0ea88685dae07cd847eab31fe6da46/FVNever.Reuse/ReuseFileEntry.cs#L50

Also, look for the number of this issue in the project code base.

Research direction

Start near line 50 of FVNever.Reuse/ReuseFileEntry.cs and search the project for issue 24. Check the REUSE specification to determine whether nested REUSE-IgnoreStart/REUSE-IgnoreEnd markers are valid; done means supporting the specified behavior or explicitly reporting the required error, with a specification issue opened if the behavior is unclear.
