    whether it's incorrect or not, keeping around a feature for a rarely-used requirement of sentinels within the path is not helpful in a world where url construction is happening in code, with user-configured values, etc.

    I'd rather have the "incorrect" behavior from nginx than try to track down arbitrary 404s due to bodged url construction, any day.
