It has nothing to do with 'proper use' -- it's confusing as is and should be 
fixed.  'i' should work properly, and until it does you have given a great 
example of using _..

${INVALID_EXTENSION} as mentioned by someone else.

I agree; I want to fix 'i' and remove this confusion, and eliminate the use of 
_. matching the special extensions.  Just because it *CAN*  be done doesn't 
mean it SHOULD be done.  We're trying to make Asterisk better, just as you 
are.  :-)
