I tried to bang on this a bit, but there are a couple of problems.

First, you need to do everything within the same extension, so the
sequence (for example) of:

exten => _X.,n,Goto(stdexten-${DIALSTATUS},1)           ; Jump based on
status (NOANSWER,BUSY,CHANUNAVAIL,CONGESTION,ANSWER)

exten => stdexten-NOANSWER,1,Voicemail(${mbx},u)        ; If unavailable,
send to voicemail w/ unavail announce
exten => stdexten-NOANSWER,n,NoOp(Finish stdexten NOANSWER)
exten => stdexten-NOANSWER,n,Return()                   ; If they press #,
return to start


would need to become:


exten => _X.,n,Goto(stdexten-${DIALSTATUS})             ; Jump based on
status (NOANSWER,BUSY,CHANUNAVAIL,CONGESTION,ANSWER)

exten => _X.,n(stdexten-NOANSWER),Voicemail(${mbx},u)   ; If unavailable,
send to voicemail w/ unavail announce
exten => _X.,n,NoOp(Finish stdexten NOANSWER)
exten => _X.,n,Return()                   ; If they press #, return to
start

or you wouldn't be able to append to it later since the extension _X.
would be interrupted by the stdexten-NOANSWER (et al) extensions.

Some might not find that palatable, so I'm not pushing this any further
for now.
