Nginx is awesome, but I think it lacks the flexibility of configuration selection, e.g. it can't throw away the selected config on demand within the rewrite phase to select another one without a need to actually rewrite URI. Think of Apache mod_rewrite's RewriteCond+RewriteRule, it would be great to have the ability to write something like this:
I'm not sufficiently familiar with nginx config to comment on how it might work.

But with Apache we implemented <if "expr …"> to do (among other things)
exactly what you're asking for, in a saner manner than pseudo-programming
with mod_rewrite.  Your suggestion looks like "IF foo GOTO bar", but wouldn't
you prefer IF/ELSE/ENDIF with a similar structure to a Location block?
