Summary:                    Is it possible to increase the number of groups
above 64 for pickup etc
Description: 
Hi Everyone

Just wonder if it is possible to get the groups increased well above 64.
Currently the valid values are hardcoded

main/channel.c: for (i = 0; i <= 63; i++) {     /* Max group is 63 */

and it would be useful if group numbers could be large (1,000,000 +) so on
shared servers with shared configs, we can set users callgroups to match
their accountcodes

I realise that this probably isn't a high priority for you but in my short
googling I have found other people trying to get this so I thought I'd put
if forward just in case :)

All the best
Kamil

Feature requests without a patch are not accepted on the bug tracker.

I have seen discussions in various places of alternative ways of
implementing pickup groups that do not have this limitation using creative
dialplan.
