Exactly.  Why do people doubt me?  In my example yesterday I showed an 
example of proper usage to people.  As long as you understand the 
proper usage of the _. you're fine.   I see Mark added the warning to 
CVS anyway.  That still will do no good _. has its use and then telling 
people you shouldn't use it then we might as well remove it if you 
shouldn't use it.  I also explained this at Astricon when I spoke.

Just because you don't understand the proper usage of something doesn't 
mean we should plaster a warning on it nor should we bitch and moan 
about it.  The proper course of action is to document its proper usage 
and make sure people know how to use it.

People recommend using exten => i which is totally wrong if you wish to 
capture the invalid extension the person dialed since ${EXTEN} would be 
"i" instead of the number the person dialed. (which can be helpful ya 
know).

I vote to have the warning removed from CVS it DOES NOT BELONG THERE.
