I am not sure why this is needed. You can already do this via

<Proxy balancer://somebalancer/ growth=10>
</Proxy>

Or

<Proxy balancer://somebalancer/>
ProxySet growth=10
</Proxy>

FYI: Travis trunk also fails almost completely. Does not seem to accept a proxy configuration.

This is because the if

+        if (!ap_strchr_c(conf->p, ':'))
+            return apr_pstrcat(cmd->pool, thiscmd->name,
+                               "> arguments are not supported for non url.",
+                               NULL);

should not return with an error, but just encapsulate the remainder of the block. And I think the further
return apr_pstrcat are also wrong.

But as said I am not sure about the purpose at all as you can already do, what the patch should provide if I understand the patch
correctly.

The purpose was to be able to add a balancer in the balancer-manager handle but that needs to pre-create the mutex and the slots for the workers.

While looking to that I noted that:
<Proxy balancer://somebalancer/>
</Proxy>

was doing nothing, the balancer is ignored, I should I revert the patch and add an error message if there is an empty entry like this one?

There is also the BalancerGrowth directive that does nothing else than creating a memory slot for balancers we never add/create in the balancer-manager, I am tempted to remove it...

Would it be better to add the missing logic? I have some pieces in mod_proxy_cluster (https://github.com/modcluster/mod_proxy_cluster that could use the logic.
