I can think of numerous cases where people would find use for this. 
Also, I'm not sure what your definition of "non-user interface" is.  It 
seems just as appropriate as channel originate, channel request hangup 
(soft hangup), and a number of other things.

Anyway, I'm interested to hear what others think.  So, others, please 
speak up.  :-) The people I have talked to so far have been excited 
about it.  If enough people have a reason not to want it there, then I'm 
certainly open to reconsider.
