+Steps to speeding up the Asterisk dialplan engine:
+
+1. A 'formal' parser for ${ } expressions, with a parse-tree representation.
+
+2. See how much of a speedup from  hash-table for func/app names.
+
+3. Make sure the $[] parser builds a tree instead of directly evaluating
+   expressions. Build an eval func. use it in the right places to make this
+   change invisible.
+
+3. use the context/extension/priorities to store ptrs to parse trees instead
+   of text where possible. Might not hurt to provide ptrs to apps as well as the
+   app names, to speed lookups there. If we do this, will linear searches of app
+   names be OK? If apps are de-registered, we can erase ALL ptrs in the contexts
+   structs, or, we can traverse the dialplan and remove ptrs associated with the
+   removed app.
+
+4. Profit.
