    Default Nesting mstretch boxes

    When using mstretch, if you nest a crossing box inside another, the points inside both boxes will shift twice the distance of the points inside just one box. You can use as many boxes as you want in as many combinations as you want, just be sure to define the outermost box first and work your way in because it calculates in the order the boxes were drawn. It's an easy way to spread out a bunch of objects by an equal amount or to stretch a complex group of objects and maintain spacing within the group. To try it out, array something and play around.
