I've always been a bit unsure of handling nginx locations so how can I
tell if I have a "regex based location"?

Most of my locations are like:

location / {
index index.shtml index.php;
}
location ~ \.(shtml|php|inc)$ {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:10004;
}
# start of extensionless stuff
location ~ ^/(bunch|of|site|sections)(/.*$|$) {
...
}
location ~ /(more|extensionless|sections)(/|$) {
...
}

Thanks.
