This changes meaning of the command, your variant is completely
equivalent to `if true; then`. Could use this technique, but with
changing `-n …` to `… != '}'`, but this does not make syntax
highlighting script right.
I would though suggest escaping:
if test -n "${arg%\{*}" ; then
or
if [[ -n "${arg%\{*}" ]] ; then
if aiming only bash/zsh. The highlighting of the original variant is
closer to being right in zsh (unless zsh is in sh emulation mode or
some unknown option is turned on): it expects balanced braces, AFAIR
this makes using some features easier.
(Note `[[` is faster because it is a special syntax construct with
special evaluation process while `[` and `test` are somewhat regular
(though shell builtins in most shells) commands, with `test` not
disguising itself as being a special syntax construct unlike `[` which
looks like some kind of special syntax while it is not. You will not
notice a difference in speed normally, so I use `test` where I need
compatibility (and sometimes as a habit) because it does not pretend
being what it is not and `[[` where I do not need compatibility
because it has some other nice features like pattern matching.)
