I'm probably also missing some history.
I'm left wondering what all changes will need to be done by the applications
parser, vs what all changes are at the extensions.conf level.Why is the
comma preferred to the pipe if apps already parse the pipe?
I'm also wondering how this will effect things like ExecIf and using Exec
from inside an AGI script (something I find myself doing often).

I remember once trying to figure out how to assign a new line to a dialplan
variable, and I concluded it wasn't possible. Is that true, and if so, would
this also fix that?
