Very good question!

Surely we have to see AEL as an emulator of extensions.conf. It provides
Macro, While, all the features from extensions.conf - but While() is
implemented using Goto(), Macro() is implemented using Gosub() etc. This
was to work around restrictions of existing features.

If it was a valid wish to have Macro() in extensions.conf to preserve CDR,
surely the same should be expected of Macro() in extensions.ael?

If you disagree, that's fine, I already have another approach I could use
- but this seems like an unfortunate side-effect of the GoSub()
implementation of Macro().
