The problem is, valid shell expressions like "${#ARCHIVE_LOGS[@]}" contain 
"{#" which is Jinja for "start-of-comment" and you have no "#}" 
end-of-comment.

To get the string "${#ARCHIVE_LOGS[@]}" to be generated in a template, you 
have to split the "{" from the "#". Here's one way:

    while mapfile -t -n 20 ARCHIVE_LOGS && ((${{ '{' ~ '#' 
}}ARCHIVE_LOGS[@]}))

There are lots of other ways to slice it up though. Good luck.
