Yes, there is some disparity.

Before proxy_pass supports two forms
1) like root:    proxy_pass  http:/host:port
1) like alias:   proxy_pass  http:/host:port/uri

With variable support we can easy support "root" functionality.
But how we can to separate alias from full URL ?
May be so

      proxy_pass         $url;          # alias
      proxy_pass_full    $url;          # full URL

?
