I had a similar RE problem and never figured it out, or found an
answer. I basically ended up using two callbacks..or doing the 2nd
check (does it contain "x") in the first callback

Capture and send all name values to the first (whether or not they
contain the {)
check whether or not the name value contains "{" inside that
