Nested location are allowed by config syntax from 0.1.0 (first 
public release).  But they may have various bugs in various 
versions.  Example I've provided should work on all supported 
branches including legacy 0.6.*, though I've never checked.

Note well: alias directive is one that likely has problems with 
nested locations.
