Yes, these are named locaitons, they had appeared in 0.6.6 and 0.5.31.
The main feature - while internal redirect via error_page $uri is not
changed, so they are handily to use in fallback handlers.

The named locaiton are always internal and do not intersect with site's URI
space.

In 0.6.27 post_action will support named location too.
