Why do we use the double-typed
  index.html.var
at all? Wouldn't it be more predictable to use
  DirecoryIndex index.var index.html index
and put the index.html.<lang> files into the index.var file?
That would avoid the ambiguity between index.html.<lang> and
index.html.var. In the absence of an index.var, the user's index.html
(possibly even index.html.<lang> by way of MultiViews) would be found
as usual.
