 The -n option does not even report the syntax error help because of 
 this code in pfctl.c:
 
          if (parse_rules(fin, &pf) < 0) {
                  if ((opts & PF_OPT_NOACTION) == 0)
                          ERRX("Syntax error in config file: "
                              "pf rules not loaded");
                  else
                          goto _error;
          }
 
 The -v option does not help either.
