isn't this the same then?

server {
listen 80;
server_name _;
}

server {
listen 80 default;
}

if you only had one of those in your config, the fallbacks would occur
to those blocks, if they did not match any others though, right?

obviously mixing them would prefer the listen 80 default; i assume?
