try_files puts its "file" argument after $document_root, and looks for
a file on the filesystem with that combined name.

alias-with-regex sets $document_root to the value given.

So if you want try_files and alias-with-regex, you want something like

try_files "" =404

But that specific use of try_files is probably not very useful, since
it is mostly the same as having no try_files at all -- I guess it is a
simplified version of what you really want, so it is useful as an example.
