Why didn't you just escape the brace with "\"?

  That's not the point. The question is not "How can I put an unmatched curly bracket in my comment?" The question is "Why are the semantics of the language - including, but not limited to brace matching - so peculiar and unexpected?" Look at my second code example! The matching brace is in a string, in another command, on the next tine! And it works! And removing either one breaks the code!

  Why would you escape something in a comment??
