[asterisk-dev] Syntax for application parameters

[Kannaiyan Natesan]

Why not have something like this,

App(name=value,name1=value1,[name2=(innername1=innervalue1,innername2=innervalue2)])

This makes clear with readability names with parameters and parameters can
be in any order.

e.g For Dial,

Dial(sipuri="sip://username:password@example.com<username%3Apassword@example.com>
",timeout=600,retry=3,retryinterval=30)
