"core set verbose" behaves strangely, can't alias it, cli.conf example broken
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: ASTERISK-20516
                 URL: https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-20516
             Project: Asterisk
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: None
          Components: Resources/res_clialiases
    Affects Versions: 11.0.0-beta1
            Reporter: Tim Ringenbach at Asteria Solutions Group
            Severity: Minor


I ran into some problems with 'core set verbose' that really confused me for a while.

It looks like in asterisk 11, there's now two versions of this command, one inside rasterisk and one in asterisk itself.

The first thing I did "wrong" was create an alias in cli_aliases.conf "set verbose=core set verbose". This caused two different versions of the command to be exposed to me, depending on whether or not I used the "core" prefix. This was very confusing, since one was aliased to the other.

Also, I tried uncommenting the 'core set verbose 3 = yes' line in cli.conf. This doesn't work anymore.

Eventually I figured out that there's two versions of the command in asterisk now, one in asterisk.c and one in cli.conf. Reading the one in asterisk.conf, I figured out that I needed to edit /etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf to set a default verbose level.

So, I think we need to either somehow make the expected behavior work, or remove the cli.conf example, maybe put a warning there not to do that, and warn/disallow aliasing it. And maybe remove the duplicate function, but that's tricky because it's also the 'core set debug' command, which I believe is still implemented only in cli.conf and not handled by the rasterisk client.
