[html-formfu] Repeatable within a repeatable?

It seems to me that the  "sub _fill_nested" routine is the part that 
won't populate the fields. HTML-FormFu-Model-DBIC seems to have pulled 
the data from the database accurately, but it will not put the data into 
the fields. Perhaps it is because it doesn't know how to interpret the 
new fieldname with the extra underscore and number?

example:
<input name="persons.equipments.equipment_id_1_3" type="hidden" 
id="persons.equipments.equipment_id_1_3" />
