I am curious about why you don't want to use this method. What's wrong 
with it?

For your regexp problem you can force the accepted extensions too:

      location ~ ^/(js|css|images|etc)/(.+)\.(png|gif|css|js)$ {
         root /var/www/domain.com/public;
         access_log off;
         expires max;
      }

This way php files will not match the regexp and will not get served.
