This is something more or less universaly works for directives 
which accept arbitrary number of parameters, such as "server_name" 
or "index", as well as bitmask-style directives like 
"ssl_protocols" and "proxy_next_upstream".

This is not something documented though, and I personally would 
rather avoid configuring things this way - mostly because I 
suspect this can be accidentally broken if a particular directive 
handling is changed for some reason.  On the other hand, there are 
no plans to remove and/or deprecate such syntax intentionally.
