I am considering the following locations:

location / {
proxy_pass http://upstream;
}

location /documents/ {
try_files $uri @upstream;
}

location @upstream {
proxy_pass http://upstream;
}

I would like to have a single named location to handle all fallbacks to
upstream (to avoid duplication: maintenance will be easier!).

How does one redirect a prefix location directly to a named one?
Using try_files might expose documents which are not supposed to be served
outside of the /documents/ tree.

Using rewrite? I learned here to avoid it as much as possible...
