I'm fairly sure they were not excluded on purpose.

{ and } have

          <operator-dictionary priority="20" form="prefix"
symmetric="true" fence="true" stretchy="true" lspace="0" rspace="0"/>

          <operator-dictionary priority="20" form="postfix"
symmetric="true" fence="true" stretchy="true" lspace="0" rspace="0"/>

so I suspect exactly the same entries could be added to [lr]moustache?
