feature request- command line define flags ( like apache -D )

Apache lets one do this:
apachectl start -D VariableName
and in the config
<ifDefine VariableName>
Do Stuff if we specified the variable
</ifDefine>
<ifDefine !VariableName>
or Don't Do Stuff if we didn't specify it
</ifDefine>
nginx doesn't seem to have that facility (at least in the docs it
doesnt). I was hoping it could be added if its not in there already
why is it useful?
i use it on apache to switch from uptime -> downtime when there's
only 1-2 lines different in the config files. big timesaver.
also, when you're hosting mutiple sites, you might want to include
a different file depending on a flag being set or not
