Directive "overloading"
I've never been that happy with the current situation that regex pattern
matching for some directives (like Directory) have both an overloaded
version (Directory ~) and a full directive (DirectoryMatch). I am
planning on adding some regex matching to some proxy functions,
however, and I plan on doing so *only* via separate directives.
Speak up now if this causes excess heartburn for anyone...

+1 for just ditching them and documenting it, assuming we are talking about
2.0. There are plenty of other directives just going away. Of course, this
seems to be a touchy issue.

+0 on torching the existing, overloaded forms. (and have Apache issue
warnings for a few releases)

I'd take your comments one step further... time to deprecate <Foo ~ /bs>
as well? <FooMatch /clean> is much clearer.
