Comment (by szepter):

 ''It'd be nice to block access to wp-config.php "just in case"; if
 something goes wrong with Apache and it stops parsing PHP files''

 It's improbable that something goes wrong with Apache and it stops parsing
 PHP files ... but if so, defines in the wp-config.php or wherever wouldn't
 solve that problem. These files will be available either way.

 In case of the PHP config stops working - I think - also .htaccess-
 limitations wouldn't join.

 The same applies to the plugin solution. This plugin wouldn't be executed
 if something goes wrong with Apache.
