Seems like a valid option to me and issimilar in functionality to 
'channel originate'. This very much seems like an admin function.

And if I noticed someone calling a number I didn't necessarily want them 
to call, I could redirect them to a place in the dialplan that says, 
"You're busted!"

It could also be filtered out using eliel's CLI permissions patch as 
well (I can't remember if that was merged or not, but I think it was).

Anyways, seems like it could be useful to me, so +1 from me.

(I also don't remember the discussion where we were trying to move away 
from this type of functionality; do you have a thread you can direct me to?)
