I don't claim to know how "difficult" that would be, but with all the
extremely talented coders in the Nginx group, I would think that
"difficult" would not be a barrier to "doing it right". If OS support
changes, nginx can change. Something tells me that with a FreeBSD Core
Team member on the Nginx payroll, if this OS feature changes, it'll
filter through to the people who write the code.

If I choose to try "use kqueue" on a system that does not support that
event method, I am hoping nginx would either tell me by refusing to
start, or ignore my stupidity. Similarly, if I attempt to enable
"reuseport" on Solaris or Windows which (I guess) do not support
SO_REUSEPORT, nginx will inform me. I know this happens on FreeBSD with,
for instance, aio. If aio is not built in to the kernel (it is not by
default), or specifically loaded, nginx gives an error and won't start.
In the case of SO_REUSEPORT, the OS call has virtually the opposite of
the desired effect.

If a directive has the potential for significantly bad consequences, it
should be spat out during config testing with at least a warning.

I'm not trying to make an excuse for not reading the documentation,
which is clear and is exactly why I have not tested this feature on
FreeBSD. Rather, I'm suggesting a more rigorous approach to config parsing.
