The doc should be tweaked.
The "directory" mentioned is related to a set of directives. See [1].
This set is: <Directory>, <Location>, <Files>, <If>, and <Proxy>
However, this directive is explicitly disallowed in <Directory>, <File> and
<If> in the code.
So it should work only in <Location> and <Proxy> + (server config and virtual
host)

For the records, the French doc is not in line with it.

Thank you for the information.
Directory context appears to have been added by revision 1731088 but the commit
message does not clarify it for me.

Thank you again. If I may beg further indulgence: why is Alias forbidden in <If
...>...</If>? It really would ease macro-writing if some Alias statements
could be conditional on a parameter.
