Apache <Directory /> directive: get matched wildcard?

Question

Is there any way to use the string matched by a wildcard in an Apache <Directory /> directive further on in the configuration? Ideally, I'd like to do something like this:

<Directory /home/*/public_html>
    ...
    RUidGid $1 $1
    php_admin_value open_basedir /home/$1/
</Directory>

…where $1 is whatever was matched by the *.

It is impossible. Maybe right for you mod_macro or "Dynamically configured mass virtual hosting"
