Summary:                    Option U() functionality is not equivalent to
application documentation
Description: 
App documentation for Dial() option U() suggests that gosub calls "routine"
x and arguments are delimited with ^. Instead, option U() treats x as a
context and calls for extension s and priority 1 in it, and arguments are
delimited with either a comma or ^.

Debug:
    -- Executing [123 at default:1] Dial("Console/dsp1",
"Local/100 at weasels,,U(context,123,arg2)") in new stack

'Answer'
    -- Executing [100 at weasels:1] Answer("Local/100 at weasels-15c7;2", "") in
new stack
    -- Called 100 at weasels
    -- Local/100 at weasels-15c7;1 answered Console/dsp1
[Jun 24 17:57:45] DEBUG[10603]: app_stack.c:240 gosub_exec: Channel
Local/100 at weasels-15c7;1 has no datastore, so we're allocating one.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
The documentation appears to be described quite accurately already.

GoSub uses a context (starting at s,1) and arguments are indeed delimited
by a ^ (they are replaced in code with commas - using commas in dialplan
would cause other issues).  Am I missing something?
