It's actually simple to make `cbmem` aware of the nesting, if you'd
store the level of the nesting for each timestamp.
All that `cbmem` would then have to do is, store the last timestamp of
each level in an array, and everytime it encounters a decrease in level,
output a third number, that is the difference of the current to the
last timestamp of its level.
