Summary:                    AEL does not translate quoted strings correctly in
1.6
Description: 
I used to use constructs like 

    a = "test here";

in the Asterisk AEL scripts. These were working fine in 1.4 (translating
to)

    Set(a=$[ "test here"])

This does not work for 1.6 anymore although translates to exactly the same
dialplan. After executing this line the value of a variable on 1.6 contains
quotes.

This results in:
1. The following construct:

    b = "${a}";
does not work at all giving parse error [Aug  6 18:01:24] WARNING[29514]:
ast_expr2.fl:437 ast_yyerror: ast_yyerror():  syntax error: syntax error,
unexpected '<token>', expecting $end; Input:

2. when the variable being assigned is CALLERID(number) - this results in
sending 

    From: ""test here"" <sip:xxxxxxxxxxx at 1.2.3.4>;tag=as1539ede1

in the SIP INVITE header. Note the double quotes. As result, the Aastra
57i phone rejects the invite with 400 Bad Request.
