  Accepts either a `"PPI::Document"` to process or a string containing the code (which will be converted into a `"PPI::Document"`) to process. Finds the location of unmatched braces. Returns a `"PPIx::EditorTools::ReturnObject"` with the unmatched brace (a `"PPI::Structure::Block"`) available via the `"element"` accessor. If there is no unmatched brace, returns undef.
