Disagree.  This is a case of overcomplicating: there's no excuse
to play with mod_rewrite, and it's not even clear that the use of
alias isn't a sticking-plaster over a less-than-optimal
arrangement of the filesystem.

A pointer to DirectoryIndex (and perhaps FallbackResource)
would seem more useful.

Oh, and I'd be worrying about that mixing of cases introducing bugs.
