was any decision ever made on this?

was hoping to see it in .10... it adds a syscall if there is more than
one index file enabled (from my logic) and it doesn't hurt anything if
there's only one defined since it falls back to normal directory
behavior anyway right?

the only people this affects negatively are those with multiple index
files defined who have become used to how nginx handles it and are
used to that many syscalls/order of operations. and that is as simple
as changing their config or renaming their files so it matches the
first index file defined...

thanks
