Currently, access_log can only be directly defined in the server scope. (Re)defining at location scope requires location_cfg_append or, in our case, raw_append.

Since we use multiple access_log statements at various levels of the configuration, this is difficult to maintain. The suggested (in resource/location.pp) way to define access_log for a location - using location_cfg_append - cannot be used since we need more than one entry. As a result, we are required to use raw_append or similar instead. This in turn leads to other problems; we cannot "inherit" the access_log statements from the server level, since those are defined as arrays.

While I'm sure there are ways around this, so we can define a common set of access_log settings in one place and re-use - for example by using raw_prepend/append also on the server level, this feels clumsy.

Support for access_log (and error_log) on all levels - http, server, location (and possibly 'if' and 'limit_except') - would be quite helpful.
