Setting User ID for Google Universal Analytics

Question

I'm trying to set the User-ID for Google's new Universal Analytics, but it keeps erring saying " SyntaxError: Unexpected token '{' ".

Here is my code;

<script>
(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
(i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
})(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');

ga('create', 'UA-XXXXXXXX-X', 'auto');
{if logged_in}
ga('set', '&uid', {{{member_id}}});
{/if}
ga('send', 'pageview');
</script>

I have tried this with $env_config['protect_javascript'] = 'y' and $env_config['protect_javascript'] = 'n';.

Why do you have 3 sets of parenthesis around the member_id tag?

Does it work if you simply use {member_id}?

EDIT (after comments) I'm not completely sure how this should be set up as I've never used this (will need to get up to speed on it though) but based on what I see in the docs does this work;

{if logged_in}
    ga('create', 'UA-XXXX-Y', { 'userId': '{member_id}' })
{if:else}
    ga('create', 'UA-XXXXXXXX-X', 'auto');
{/if}

I'm not sure why the docs show UA-XXXX-Y for the user ID section.
