New Revision: 419943

URL: http://svnview.digium.com/svn/asterisk?view=rev&rev=419943
Log:
Manager - Improve documentation for manager commands Getvar and Setvar.

The documentation for these commands did not make it clear that they could
accept expressions and functions. Modified to make this clear, but tried
not to be overly explicit.
