Sadly that doesn't work. The else branch of a conditional still gets
partially parsed, so the perl_version type warning is still emitted even
if it is inside a conditional that evaluates to false.
Try this:
if 0 > 0
if fnord > 0
meta SYN_ERROR
endif
endif
SA won't generate a warning about the syntax of the SYN_ERROR rule, but it
will emit a warning about fnord not being numeric.
