    I'm pretty sure Dean was +1; I'm +1 on concept (I haven't tested
    it).

    If his patch works, +1 on committing it.

    Not open any more, evidently, since the plan says we won't be
    creating them.

If you made one of the cmd_param fields be the closing tag for a block (or
NULL if not in a block) then you can kill two birds with one stone ... the
other bird would be the code which looks for </Directory>, vs. 
</DirectoryMatch> -- right now you can use either to close a <Directory>
or <DirectoryMatch> block, and some error messages are wrong.

I'm not sure how clean that'd be ...

Right now, the check_cmd_context() routine has no way to distinguish
between an enclosing <Location>, <Directory>, <Files> or .htaccess block.
The reason for this is that all three share a common pointer "cmd->path"
which is tested in the routine.

Perhaps we should add a type tag which identifies the surrounding block?
That would allow the check routine to deny <Files> within <Files>
but allow <Files> within .htaccess/<Directory> and the like.

+1.  BTW <Files> are meaningless inside <Location> ... one of Lars' first
bug reports ever back when he was a prolific bug reporter :)  I don't
remember if you thing allows you to warn about that.

Here's the obvious patch -- vote on it? I'm not sure if I can commit it
within the next 10 hours. Anyway, I tested it, <Files> are now Ok in
.htaccess
