Summary:                    features don't work in AppDial
Description: 
DTMF-triggered actions (applicationmap features) work in a Dial only after
the callee has picked up. In other words, only after an "AppDial" turns
into a "Bridged Call".

This is necessary in those scenarios where I need to access features while
still connected. I'm tempted to label this bug 'major' since I have yet to
find a work-around.

OK, I found a work-around. I don't know why I didn't think of this
earlier:

1) Create a context like:
[answer-then-dial]
    exten => _X.,1,Answer()
    exten => _X.,2,Dial(Local/${EXTEN}@default||g)

2) Dial to this context:
    exten => 0,n,Dial(Local/${DEST}@answer-then-dial||g)
