I forgot to say that the type{} directive works inside location{} blocks
too:

| location /dev/ {
| root /www/dev;
|
| type text/* {
| expires epoch;
| }
| }
|
| location /prod/ {
| root /www/prod;
|
| type text/* {
| expires max;
| }
| }

Although if you put a text{} block inside a location{}, this location no
longer interprets e.g. server{}-level types. We'll see if this is a
problem by popular demand :)
