# Between 2020-09-22 (var.c 1.527) and 2020-09-30 (var.c 1.553), there was
# a bug in the evaluation of variable expressions.  Indirect modifiers like
# the below :L did not update the definedness of the enclosing expression.
# This resulted in a wrong "Malformed conditional".

# a delimiter, that is, a ':' or endc.  Neither does the :P modifier.
