Is there a way to use conditional IF statements in Django Compressor compress tags?

Is there a way to use a conditional statement from within the {% compress %} tags in a Django template that uses the Django Compressor?

I've tried it but it produces an error. Here's an example of what I've tired:

{% compress js %}
    <script src="{{ STATIC_URL }}js/example-1.js"></script>
    <script src="{{ STATIC_URL }}js/example-2.js"></script>
    {% if settings.EXAMPLE %}
    <script src="{{ STATIC_URL }}js/example-3.js"></script>
    {% endif %}
{% endcompress %}

And this is the error I get:

Please note I'm using version 1.4 of Django Compressor.

None of the usage examples in the documentation include conditionals, and a review of the code for the compress template tag suggests thats because its probably not possible.

Instead, consider using two separate compress blocks:

{% compress js %}
    <script src="{{ STATIC_URL }}js/example-1.js"></script>
    <script src="{{ STATIC_URL }}js/example-2.js"></script>
{% endcompress %}
{% if settings.EXAMPLE %}
    {% compress js %}
        <script src="{{ STATIC_URL }}js/example-3.js"></script>
    {% endcompress %}
{% endif %}
