Have we successfully run this one?

I am getting

Invalid workflow file: .github/workflows/main.yml#L1
(Line: 153, Col: 12): Unexpected symbol: '+'. Located at position 11
within expression: matrix.nr + 1, (Line: 301, Col: 12): Unexpected
symbol: '+'. Located at position 11 within expression: matrix.nr + 1

https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/25386 is a 6-year old
discussion so things may have changed quite a lot, but at least back
then the claim was

    Github actions doesn’t support math operations in expressions
    inside ${{ }}. You could add up these two numbers in bash script and
    then use set-env command to give its value to an environment
    variable ...

though.

In the meantime I'll revert the topic out of 'next'.  Sorry for not
catching it while it was in 'seen',.
