process_request_internal() calls location_walk() _after_ it does
translate_name(). It would seem reasonable (to me) for name translators to
expect to be handed relevant per-location configuration, no?

Cheers,

Ben.

This might make sense, except that directives in <Location> sections
are expected to override those in <Directory> sections, so processing
the former must come after the latter, which cannot (obviously) be
done until the name is translated. I suppose you could do a temporary
merge, call transalte_name, then call directory_walk and then
merge back again on top of that, but I don't particuarly like the
interactions there.
