Feature request related to a problem

I would like to specify that 410 Gone should be returned in response to certain request paths.

Describe the solution you'd like

This could be done with a config option specifically for the 410 status code:

410_gone = [ "/removed/*/path" ]

Alternatively, it could be provided in the form of a more general ability to use status codes other than 200 for certain resources, possibly in conjunction with URL-rewrites to return the desired error-message content.

This would take the form of a series of rules (like the rewrite and redirect rules) that map request paths to status codes:

[[advanced.custom-status]]
request = "/removed/*/path"
status = 410

Describe alternatives you've considered

It appears that maintenance mode can be (ab)used to emulate this behavior, at least in the case where all resource requests should receive 410 Gone. Users who need only some resources to be marked "gone" could set up one server in permanent "maintenance mode" and another configured normally, and use a proxy server to route requests to the appropriate server instance.
