I believe this feature is great for

1.  inlining source code written in other languages (like Lua or
JavaScript) directly within nginx.conf and also for

2. inlining big chunk of text into directives like "echo" or "return"
to serve static contents directly from memory.

The current string syntax for nginx.conf is cumbersome when there're
many special characters like \ that need escaping.

So I think it'll be a big win for 3rd-party modules :)
