Seems to be some quirk in the parser. In general:

#if(false) | anything you put here will be ignored

will parse without giving any error. Odd, but probably innocuous.

  Actually the | is not even necessary.

  The think is that if the condition evaluates to false then everything
will be skipped until the #else (or #end if there's no #else).

Thank you.

But this is an uncached syntax error. Isn't it supposed that one 
parser's job is to cach syntax errors?

No, no. Es lo que aclara Warp. Por lo visto es un error conocido del que 






Un saludo.

  It's not an error per se. It's just how the parser has been made to
work. The parser simply evaluates the condition, and if it evaluates
to false, it just skips everything until it finds a corresponding #else
or #end. It doesn't perform syntax checking while skipping.
  This might not be the most user-friendly way of doing it, but that's
different from being a programming error.
