I don't thinks that it's a good idea to disallow configurations
with multiple http{} blocks. While this wasn't claimed to be
supported, it allows fun things like running multiple
configuration isolated, and e.g. makes merging configs from
multiple servers much easier.
AFAIR, as of now only one of standard modules has problems with
this - embeeded perl, and it has appropriate "caveat emptor"
clause in it's documentation.
