Thanks for your help, Francis!

Certainly: an example URL is /stage/my-account/ . Ultimately, I would
like for this URL to be rewritten to
/stage/index.php?q=/stage/my-account/ (the file "index.php" exists on
the filesystem at /var/www/example.com/private/stage/web/index.php).

Regarding the rewrite happening only for URLs that end in .php, that had
occurred to me, but if I try to move the rewrite "up one level", into
the block "location ^~ /stage/ {", nginx complains upon requesting the
URL /stage/ that '"alias" cannot be used in location "/stage/" where URI
was rewritten'.

Fundamentally, is the problem here that I need to be modifying the
"alias" directive dynamically (with regular expressions and capture
groups), instead of trying to achieve the same with the "rewrite" directive?

Thanks again for your time,

-Ben
