Of course :) that was what "b)" meant :)

I would suggest that this is just the default behavior. If people
don't want a lot of file scans, then don't configure multiple "index
index.1 index.html index.php index.cgi" etc. or configure them in the
order that makes most sense.

I don't believe this needs a new directive, it doesn't make sense to
create a directive to say "yes, actually look for all of the index
files in order before processing the directory"
