No.  The sending complete flag is not saved and is not made available
to the dialplan.

The sending complete flag is used three times.  The first is for the
"s" extension.  The second is in determining what response message to send
(PROCEEDING/ANSWER/SETUP-ACKNOWLEDGE).  The third is to determine if the
pri_ss_thread needs to be started to gather more digits for a dialplan
extension match.
