Thanks. Yes I'm aware of the caveats of using "if" (such as only the last true
if block is processed), that's why I thought of using the error_page first. But
I guess as long as I keep the if blocks simple it shouldn't be a problem.

I'd love to see this implemented, I suggest somthing like "if_not_found" or
"non_exist_fallback".
