This patch is not THAT good, and not needed at all
you can use brackets, if you escape them, like this
${lookup {$local_part\}$domain} lsearch {/etc/exim/strangelist}}

Your patch could break things, see this example

${lookup {$local_part{$domain} lsearch {/etc/exim/strangelist}}

This will work with an unpatched exim, but NOT with your version, so if
you need the closing bracket, just use \} or, if you use a string that
should not be evaluated at all, you can enclose it with \N.

Before patching, read the sources a little bit more careful ;)
In fact, the escaping code is just 25 lines before your patched lines ;)
