Summary:                    [patch] Allow a simple lookup for hint extensions
Description: 
Currently, all hints must contain only expressions which do not depend upon
a channel definition, since hints may be called without a channel. 
However, since hints are always context- and extension-specific, there
should be a way to reference those indicated values when evaluating a hint.

Would this functionality allow me to use variables based on which device is
looking for status?  Example: I have 3 phones with SIP registrations that
have 3 different ${ACCOUNTCODE}.  Will I be able to do this:
exten => _XXX,hint,SIP/${ACCOUNTCODE}-${EXTEN}

So that phone1 checks SIP/account1-705 and phone2 checks SIP/account2-705
even though both are pointed to exten 705?

I ask because if so, I will be keeping a close eye on this issue and will
be glad to help test it.
