Note that the term "nest" does not appear anywhere in the code. Without that option, an AIJ format will be used, so you can use a direct solver or anything else. MATNEST here is a run-time optimization that is primarily only useful for fieldsplit (or shell) preconditioning. It's a very bad idea to make your code depend on MATNEST because it severely limits your choices of algorithms.</div>
