The problem is that if you have too many '{' characters you get an error. If
you have too many '}' characters then the condition will always succeed - which
defeats the purpose of a condition.

It is most definitely a severe error to have a condition that always succeeds
when you go to some effort to make it conditional.

The worst part is that if you syntax-check the configuration with the -bV flag
there will be no messages at all indicating that a condition with too many
back-braces is going to succeed no matter what.
