Forum: NGINX Dynamic error_log location using regex captures

Why can't I use a dynamic error_log location like I do with access_log?
Example config:

  server_name ~^(?<username>.+)\.my-domain\.com$;

  root /srv/www/accounts/$username/app;

  access_log /var/log/nginx/accounts/$username/access.log;
  error_log /var/log/nginx/accounts/$username/error.log;

This does not work, since for some reason nginx chokes out on the 
dynamic
error_log location. Feature request?

Because it is "error_log" that may contain critical errors, therefore it 
must
always be accessible.
