but doesn't it make sense to go through all index file options before
checking the directory and handing it off to autoindex? maybe i just
don't know filesystem architecture good enough, but it seems like if
the user states "check A, B, C" it should check A, B, C and only if it
fails all 3 then fall back to sanity checks / directory checks /
autoindex checks / etc.
