For this particular case, using some more special handler should 
be better, see ngx_conf_set_access_slot() and proxy_store_access 
for an example (http://nginx.org/r/proxy_store_access).

In either case, I don't think that support for octal numbers is a 
good idea, especially for generic number slots.
