default application

I'm sending a 60mbps stream to my home server and using ffmpeg on the server to compress it to 6mpbs for streaming sites as well as recording it to a file share. I would like to have a single block defining the recording and exec directives and another block for each streaming platform for relaying the compressed stream to them. This is what I have so far:

rtmp {
    server {
        listen 1935;
        live on;
        application / {
            ...
            exec_push ffmpeg
                -i rtmp://localhost/$app/$name
                ...
                -f flv rtmp://localhost/live/$app/$name;
        }
        application /live/twitch {
            push rtmp://live.twitch.tv/app/$name;
        }
        ... more applications for the various platforms we stream to
    }
}

This doesn't work because applications are not prefix based like http locations, and since they don't support patterns I don't know how I could accomplish this. I don't want to have the same block of config in every location, and have to edit every block if a change is needed. Is there a way to have a default block for arbitrary application names or can support for that be added?

The other thing that would solve my issue is if I could set the upstream url and then include the default block, but that also seems to be missing from this module.

Any progress? Looking for insight on how to set variable from return values on_publish
