Summary:                    stdexten no longer logs incoming dialled digits in
CDR
Description: 
This is really about the deprecation of Macro(), but stdexten provides a
good example of the failure that results from trying to replicate Macro
with Gosub.

Just adding:

exten => _X.,1,Gosub(stdexten,s,1(${EXTEN},SIP/${EXTEN})

to the sample extensions.conf and dialling 6106 produced the following
CDR:

"","6906","s","stdexten","""XXXXXXXXXXXX 6906""
<6906>","SIP/192.168.10.10-0939dec8","SIP/6106-093925e8","Dial","SIP/6106,20","2008-10-29
14:54:52","2008-10-29 14:54:54","2008-10-29
14:54:55",3,1,"ANSWERED","DOCUMENTATION","1225292092.19","
"

Historically, "s" would have been "6106" and "stdexten" would have been
"default", which I believe are much more useful.

I did think about that, but the two problems I had were:

1) you still don't get the original context logged;
2) you limit the character set for extensions and, with 
   that pattern, require at least two digit numbers.  The
   use of _. is discouraged; we did try, elsewhere, and were
   caught out.

Both are surmountable, but there is a strong temptation to roll back to
the 1.4 version of the dialplan.

For (1) you can have a separate Gosub context for each significant 
context (e.g. tenant in a multi-tenanted system).  For (2) there 
will almost certainly be a pattern that will match everything that
will be thrown at it on a particualar site.
