Real regex support in the dialplan would be quite awesome, in my 
opinion.  However, I think it would have to be something that doesn't 
conflict with existing "exten =>" behavior.  We could call it ... 
"rexten =>" or something.

Or we could work on ways to make it even easier to use a real 
programming language for dialplan programming instead of another big 
extension to our own ...
