Summary:                    pattern match for a hints always gives state:idle
for all extensions
Description: 
I'm using this ael syntax for pattern match for hints
        hint(SIP/${EXTEN}) _ZXX => NoOP;
when subscribe to extensions using this pattern match, it gives always
"idle" state for all subscribed extensions, regardless of actual state of
line, it shows always "idle" for unregistered, or even not existent peers!

pattern match for hints feature was added into trunk in rev. 109970

Corydon76, I don't understand you, do you disagree, that this is bug? One
thing, that I expecting from feature "pattern match as a hint" is, that I
will use single line in dialplan like "hint(SIP/${EXTEN}) _ZXX => NoOP;" to
be able to subscribe to and monitor all extensions that I specify. And this
is also mentioned in CHANGES...
"It is now possible to specify a pattern match as a hint. Once a phone
subscribes to something that matches the pattern a hint will be created
using the contents and variables evaluated."

Until this feature was added, I must explicitly specify hints for every
line, that I would like to subscribe and monitor, like this....
        hint(SIP/108) 108 => NoOP;
        hint(SIP/164) 164 => NoOP;
        hint(SIP/239) 239 => NoOP;
        hint(SIP/255) 255 => NoOP;
I hoped, that "pattern match as a hint" feature, solved this anoying
requirement.
