That's precisely what he's talking about.
Do you count braces inside comments, as he illustrates?
And don't forget that <% is a punctuator that has the same semantics as

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
if(argc > 1)
<%
printf("Hello, world!\n");
}
return 0;
}

Okay, so now your simple brace-checker includes its own rudimentary
