Summary:                    Detection of call pickup code in chan_dahdi should
have higher priority than dialplan matches
Description: 
Hi,

Just spent some time investigating why a customer couldn't do *8 from
their analogue phones.  This on a freepbx system.

In the end it turned out that the customer had a dialplan rule that
matched "_*." and played a "your call cannot be completed as dialled"
message.  This is in freepbx's "bad-number" context which is included at
the lowest level in the from-internal context.

When I looked at the logic in chan_dahdi (and chan_zapata) I was surprised
to find that it actually "prefers" a dialplan match over matching the
ast_pickup_ext or *69 or the rest.

My opinion is that it would be much more sensible to prefer the
feature-code match where the dialplan also had a match.  Especially where
the dialplan match is a pattern match.

My logic is that the feature code is like an "exact" exten line.  And the
concept that "exact matches" have priority over patterns is well
established in Asterisk.

I also point out that chan_sip in fact does prefer the pickup code over
any dialplan match.  So at the moment chan_dahdi and chan_sip are
inconsistent.

Regards,
Steve
