 ==== Inner classes
-Inner classes (classes inside classes) are **not supported**. This includes anonymous inner classes. You can not import, call or use inner classes. Inner classes can not be translated. This is for many reasons but the brief summary:
+Inner classes (classes inside classes) have very limited support. 
+
+When an inner class translator is needed, eg A$B where B is an inner class of A, the translator searches for a translator for class A/B where A is used as a *directory*. If it is found, then that translator B is used.
+
+Otherwise, no support is available. This includes anonymous inner classes. You can not import, call or use inner classes. This is for many reasons but the brief summary:
 * The useful variant of inner class is the non-static inner class. This class can access fields in the enclosing class.
 * Python does not support accessing fields of the enclosing class unless some tricks are applied. But these tricks would break uniformity of constructors.
