Cannot use nomath with stix

Question

I can't be the first person who has wanted to use stix with the nomath option, but it seems impossible:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[nomath]{stix}
\begin{document}
\end{document}

This produces

! Incomplete \iffalse; all text was ignored after line 57.
<inserted text> 
                \fi 
l.3 \begin
          {document}

@cfr, thank you for the good advice. Unfortunately I can't seem to get into my old SourceForge account. Since DavidCarlisle (tex.stackexchange.com/questions/232089/…) already reported it, it shouldn't last long. — LSpice, Mar 9, 2015 at 0:31

This is a bug in the package right at the end there is the line

\def\stix@dotlessi{\ifmmode\imath\else\i}

which should say

\def\stix@dotlessi{\ifmmode\imath\else\i\fi}

Because of the interaction with the package option you can not really "patch" that with a redefinition, make a local copy and just edit the file.

Thanks for this, and for fixing the typo in my sample code. (Is there any really easy way to C&P from an external file? A literal C&P misses the four spaces at the beginning, so I was lazy and just re-typed, obviously incorrectly.)

@LSpice highlight the code with mouse then use the {} button in the editor (or type control-k) and the indent gets added,

@LSpice I pinged a representative of stipub about this, so I guess it will get fixed shortly.

I uploaded a new version of the package to CTAN which should fix this (in TeX Live 2015 at least).
