Summary:                    When providing a delemeter character, placing it
betwenn apostrophy signs does not work. CUT retruns the shole string in this ca
Description: 
The following example fails:
exten => 123,1,Set(foo=1 2 3 4 5)
exten => 123,n,Set(foo=${CUT(foo,' ',2)})

which means that instead of returning the second space separated field,
CUT returns the whole string.

A work-around is to replace the ' apostrophy sign by double quotes like:

exten => 123,1,Set(foo=1 2 3 4 5)
exten => 123,n,Set(foo=${CUT(foo," ",2)})

This correctly returns 2.

Nowhere is it documented that placing the delimiter between apostrophe
signs will do what you want.  In fact, the suggested method in the
documentation is to use the backslash character to specify the character in
hexadecimal or octal.
