I think (from distant memory) I may be responsible for some of that.
At some point I wanted to introduce directives where there were none.
But mod_proxy had, by convention, put all the directives in mod_proxy
itself, including some that belonged on the same docs page as what
I needed to add.  I have an idea something may have been needed in
both mod_proxy and mod_proxy_http.  It certainly gave rise to issues
with how to document it without a major reorg.  Envvars offered a
straightforward workaround.
