I don't know... I don't have a problem with it since I don't ever use _. --
I'm just looking to make the dialplan not only consistent but half-assed
intuitive. I mean _X. will match any numeric extension just fine, but with
SIP and IAX it's entirely possible to use
exten => _foo.,1,blah...
and match foo, foobar, foo123, etc. I am still wracking my brain trying to
think of a situation where you'd have to trap the special extensions and I
just can't think of one, and having _. simply not match them would go a long
way to help people who feel they must use _..
