Nested List Sum
You are given a nested list of integers, where each element can be either an integer or another list (which may also contain further nested lists). Write a function that computes the sum of all integers in the nested list, regardless of how deeply nested they are.
Input Format:
A single line containing a nested list representation (using Python list syntax).
Output Format:
A single integer representing the sum of all integers in the nested list.
Example:
Input:
[1, [2, [3, 4], 5], 6]
