Something what would (IMHO) be more useful is "#" expansion, which
basically auto-assigns the next available priority in the order the lines
are encountered.. So you could do:

exten => s,#,Answer
exten => s,#,SomeApp
exten => s,#,SomeOtherApp

and when the config file is parsed, these are assigned 1,2,3 dynamically,
based on the order they are listed.

Would make it a lot easier to edit simple "exten" scripts.
