Summary:                    AEL  &macro("arg") with UTF-8 argument incorrectly
compiles into dialplan
Description: 
AEL &macro expression used with UTF-8 argument (Russian in my case)
incorrectly compiles into dialplan. It was  broken in Asterisk 1.4.22-rc4.
In Asterisk 1.4.22-rc3  and earlier and also in 1.6.0.1 everything is OK.

(closes issue http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=14022)
Reported by: wetwired
Tested by: murf

I checked, and I added a mod to the trunk version
of Asterisk that would make it 8-bit transparent
on 27 Nov 2007, but I made no such updates to
1.4. My best guess is that 1.4 was released, and
it was not appropriate to commit an enhancement.

But I'm going to add the same fixes to 1.4 now,
for the following reasons:
1. wetwired is correct; 1.4 is **mostly** 8-bit
   transparent now. This is because the lexical
   token forming rules use . in most 'word'
   state continuances.  It's just the beginning
   of a 'word' that is picky.
2. Accepting 8-bit chars in some places and
   not others leads to bug reports like this.
