        <pre>To replicate:

define PRI_DEFRAG    = -400 

results in the error

nftables.conf:22:24-24: Error: syntax error, unexpected -
define PRI_DEFRAG    = -400
                       ^


Expected behavior:

Could "define" a negative number (as opposed to a string)


Possible work around:

define PRI_DEFRAG    = "-400"

(Unclear if this is parsed to a number, remains a string, or if it even
matters)</pre>
