This is a bad way to solve the problem.

1. It introduces two additional open()/close() system calls per access_log
per request (not to mention all regexp and variables processing);

2. It unnecessarily complicates nginx configuration, which is intended to
stay clear and simple.

What is the problem with log rotation tools? Why even is someone even trying
to avoid using them?
