Summary:                    [patch] IAX does not allow CALLERID(num) contain
non-numbers.
Description: 
( I already explained the issue here:
http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-dev/2009-August/039257.html )

The thing is that IAX channel driver "shrinks" (ast_shrink_phone_number)
caller number. Which was probably the good thing before. However nowadays
when you have Skype support integrated, skype names passed via
CALLERID(num) get damaged.

I believe that only drivers which know they can not pass arbitrary number
(like DAHDI for example) should do shrinking of number before sending out.
While inside Asterisk (or relayed to another Asterisk with SIP/IAX) we
should presever original number.

Obviously I can create a patch for chan_iax which removes the shrinking
because this patch is trivial. However issue may be more global and affect
other drivers so I believe it is better to hear from Digium guys first -
maybe they have another opinion about how to solve that issue or do not
consider it an issue at all :)

IAX/SIP shrinkcallerid option

The shrinking of caller id removes '(', ' ', ')', non-trailing '.',
and '-' from the string.  This means values such as 555.5555 and
test-test result in 555555 and testtest.  There are instances,
such as Skype integration, where a specific value is passed via
caller id that must be preserved unmodified.  This patch makes
the shrinking of caller id optional in chan_sip and chan_iax in
order to support such cases.  By default this option is on to
preserve previous expected behavior.
