Can you give a motivating example?

I thought we only support nested classes, not inners. Mostly because there are
non-trivial lifecycle dependencies between them, e.g.:

@State
static class BS {

  @State
  class TS1 {
    // Thread initializes this, but needs BS instance to call new...
  }
}

...which, I think are resolvable, but need to see the motivating example.
