I've to correct my self. The syntax above isn't correct

    ${eval:10*{…}}      # WRONG


and probably never was. It *may* be, that older version of Exim
accepted it.

    ${eval:10*${…}}     # RIGHT


should be correct.

The documentation is simple an clear on ${eval:<string>}: String must
(after expansion) yield a conventional arithmetic expression. (my
wording). In the example marked as wrong, the "string" is 10*{…},
which isn't a valid arithmetic expression.

I'm not sure, if there can be even more examples. (Refer to the
spec file around line 9100 (as of 4.84_2, as part of the current stable
debian).
