Summary:                    [patch] Gosub() dequotes once more than Macro()
Description: 
Since Gosub started accepting "macro" arguments (before 1.6.0-beta1), it
has been dequoting arguments one more time than Macro does.

Since Gosub() is meant to supplant Macro() in 1.6 and is already used by
AEL to implement macros, this breaks compatibility with 1.4.  This behavior
also makes it impossible to fetch arguments without quotes being
interpreted, which IS possible in a Macro() call through ${ARGn}.  It also
requires an obnoxious level of quoting if you want quotes to survive all
the way to a named macro argument in AEL -- e.g.
&macro(${QUOTE(${QUOTE(${CALLERID(all)})})});

Behind the scenes, Gosub() uses AST_STANDARD_APP_ARGS, which causes
ast_app_separate_args() to eat the quotes; Macro() does its own argument
parsing.  I think the best solution is probably to make Gosub() use
non-standard argument parsing as well, but I haven't written a patch yet
since I think this warrants more discussion.

I verified that this problem exists in 1.6.0-beta1, 1.6.0.10, and 1.6.11. 
It does not exist in 1.4 because Gosub() doesn't accept extra arguments.
