# list of variables
cross_cases(mtcars, cyl, am %nest% list(vs, cyl))

# list of variables - multiple banners/multiple nesting
cross_cases(mtcars, cyl, list(total(), list(am, vs) %nest% cyl))

# three variables 
cross_cases(mtcars, am %nest% vs %nest% carb, cyl)

# the same with usual version

# three variables
