Summary:                    AEL macro argument variables aren't properly quoted
when set
Description: 
When the dialplan code is generated to set a macro's variables, the
argument data isn't properly escaped, causing the loss of any quoting in
the macro.  For example, if the macro in the 'additional information' field
was called like so:

&foo(abc "def" geh);

...the following message would be logged:

I got [abc def geh] but I want it to look like [abc "def" geh]

The easiest fix is probably to wrap ${ARGn} inside a ${QUOTE()} in the
generated dialplan code.

I'm sorry to be thick-headed on this, but I have to wonder. We've been
passing in args to macros this way ever since AEL first version, and this
sort of change could take all sorts of users by surprise.

Is it possible for you to pass QUOTE(arg data) into the macro call
yourself?

&macrocall(blah,QUOTE(hi "mom" there),ehlo);
??
