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 happen to be using AEL which converts "macro" calls to "gosub" calls.
For each macro, AEL creates a dedicated context with one extension named
"s".
Since I use an AEL "stdexten" macro in the dialplan, all my CDRs end up
containing "stdexten" and "s" instead of the original context and the
dialed extension.

Note: the variables ${CDR(dcontext)} and ${CDR(dst)}, when referenced in
the AEL macro, show the original context and the dialed extension.
I discovered this by adding two lines to the begining of my stdexten AEL
macro:
    NoOp(${CDR(dst)});
    NoOp(${CDR(dcontext)});
The fact that these CDR variables don't reflect what is being logged in
the CDR should be treated as a bug.

For those not using AEL, the bug can be seen with the following dialplan
in extension.conf:
[junk]
exten => 750,1,GoSub(subroutines,stdexten,1(SIP/750))
[subroutines]
exten => stdexten,1,NoOp(${CDR(dst)})
exten => stdexten,n,NoOp(${CDR(dcontext)}) 
exten => stdexten,n,Dial(${ARG1})
exten => stdexten,n,Return
;;;; compare the output from the "NoOp" operations with the entries logged
in the CDR; you will find they are not the same.

If anybody wishes to tackle this bug, I would prefer to see the CDR fixed
to match the variables instead of the variables fixed to match the CDR!

And if anybody asks, I am using 1.6.0.1 on top of Solaris.
