Summary:                    [patch] Permit dialplan to control if more digits
should be entered
Description: 
Inspired by a post on the mailing list, this new application, Incomplete,
permits a user to specify that an extension is incomplete and that the PBX
should wait for more digits to add to the current extension.

exten => _8111!,1,Incomplete
exten => 8111222333,1,SayUnixtime

will wait until either "8111222333" is fully dialled (even if 8111 is sent
from a SIP INVITE) or until the digits entered can no longer match that
extension.

I think you should have flag for whether or not to answer. E.g. bri zaptel
can receive the additional digits via overlapped signaling even when the
channel is still in non-answered state. Actually, answering would make the
PBX think that the number was complete already and it would generate
invalid CDRs.
