Hi,

The $match_syntax_based system variable is not set in general case.
For example, you can turn on the "Syntax Based" switch
in the Preferences>Show Matching(...) menu but the variable is not
still set. This variable is only mentioned in the manual:
"....$match_syntax_based
Whether pair matching should use syntax information, if available...."
It is unclear, when the syntax information is available.

If one tries to check value of $match_syntax_based, error breaks macro execution.
When one tries to reset the variable - set_match_syntax_based($match_syntax_based)
- the error also breaks this operation:
"Error executing macro: variable not set: $match_syntax_based"

Seems that the variable $match_syntax_based must be set in
any case, but it's value can be "true", "false", "undefined" or
1, 0, -1.
