Comment (by johnkleinschmidt):

 I believe the regex syntaxes are identical; though there may be cases they
 are not.  Though ideally there would be use cases for performance reasons
 where you would want to encapsulate a rewrite rule in a location.  eg:


 {{{
 #Apache rewrite rule:
 RewriteRule ^/news$ /blog/category/correspondents

 #Nginx rewrite rule
 rewrite ^/news$ /blog/category/correspondents last;

 #Better performing nginx rewrite rule:
 location ^~ /news {
     rewrite ^ /blog/category/correspondents last;
 }
 }}}
