At the risk of bikeshedding, I find the names NestMembers and 
MemberOfNest confusing; I keep having to think about the directionality, 
since they sound so similar.  Would be good to find names that have 
obviously opposite directionality.

A not-very-good suggestion (but which illustrates the directionality 
thing I'm going for) would be "NestDeclaration" and "NestUse".  It's 
pretty clear which is which without thinking about it.

Perhaps: NestHost and NestMember ?
