Summary:                    Variables in AEL2 context names
Description: 
As part of our migration to 1.4.x, we're looking at moving to AEL2.  In so
doing, I've run across what looks like a bug in the native AEL parser.  (Or
I'm just missing something obvious, which I admit is very possible)

The relevant bits from extensions.ael:

globals {
  OFFICE_CODE=503;
}

context from-enum {
  includes {
    internal-extensions;
    pbx-extensions;
  }

  _${OFFICE_CODE}XXXX => {
        Answer();
        goto ${EXTEN:3}|1;
  }
}

With extensions.ael being loaded (and no extensions.conf), if I try to
dial into this context, I get:

[Aug  9 00:45:47] NOTICE[15582]: chan_iax2.c:7406 socket_process: Rejected
connect attempt from XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, request '5039000 at from-enum' does not
exist

Interestingly, if I have aelparse dump an extensions.conf version of
extensions.ael, I end up with the following relevant code:

[globals]
OFFICE_CODE=503

[from-enum]
include => internal-extensions
include => pbx-extensions
exten => _${OFFICE_CODE}XXXX,1,Answer()
exten => _${OFFICE_CODE}XXXX,2,Goto(${EXTEN:3}|1)

If I have asterisk load this instead of the AEL, the context works as
expected.  (Hence my suspiscion it's the native AEL parser that's at
fault)

In the meantime, I've simply changed the extension to:

_XXXXXXX => {

which will work for now.  But I would like, if possible, to put variables
into extension names.

If there's any further information I can provide, please let me know.

Thanks,

-Chris

(NOTE: Mantis only lets me select 1.4.9, but I'm actually running into
this issue on 1.4.10)
