You haven't fully understood how it works so I hope you don't mind if I try to explain it again.

I first check the PKGBUILD with "/bin/bash -n PKGBUILD". If this command exits without error then the PKGBUILD contains valid syntax, most importantly it does not contain extra closing brackets ("}"). [...]

Wow this is quite clever. It definitely would make the job of parsing much easier. Thanks for the explanation.
