Summary:                    Introducing en extension pattern matching variables
similar to X or Z, but also recognizes the * and/or #
Description: 
Asterisk has pattern matching mainly only for numerical digits, such as the
X or Z patterns.  It would be useful if a pattern character can be
introduced that will also recognize the * or #, such as when a context
needs to redirect all the calls to another context.  Although the wildcard
period pattern can be used in that case, it is not advisable to start a
pattern matching sequence with a period.  Likewise, there are other useful
implementations for having this kind of pattern matching as well.

requests without patches on the bug tracker.  However, like jsmith said,
you can already handle a pattern like this ...
