My guess was, that every { opens a parser 'instance' which itself gets the most outer {} in the passed string and passes possible substring to a new instance. Sort of in an outside-in fashioned way. But I can see the Problem araising with finding the delimiter when using the {} outside of double quotes. But the possible solutions are known and limited.

Siblings could be detected by a closing bracket followed by a opening one. If they are nested the closing bracked would never be followed-up by an opening bracket, wouldn't it? But, as you said, others haven't found a solution for this and they're probably much smarter then me. So there must be some kind of drawback to it.

Anyway, thanks for taking the time explaining the whys behind extbase and fluid. Very appreciated!
