The original sscanf processing allowed for a number of syntax errors
to be accepted. This included missing the closing brace in
${modifiers}
Look for both comma and right brace as intermediate seperators as
well as consuming the final right brace in the sscanf processing
for ${modifiers}. Check when we got right brace to determine if
the sscanf consumed more input than expected and if so behave as
if it had stopped at the first right brace.
