Summary:                    gotoiftime does not work as expected for date range
Description: 
In the middle of December I set a time condition using the gotoiftime
dialplan application from Dec24 to Jan3. It worked correctly over this
holiday period and switched off after Jan3. However on Jan24 it switched on
again. This is not the operation that I expected.

Ok perhaps I should have use the word "period" where as cron has
"instants"

For example in cron
30 09-11 * * *
means the instants 09:30,10:30,11:30

but in gotoiftime
09:30-11:30,*,*,*
means the period from 09:30 to 11:30

I think that date periods in gotoiftime should work in the same way as
time periods
