I will. Like:

"If you have a SIP proxy in front of Asterisk and want to send different hangup causes depending on if a 408 is local
or remote. For a local one, you could invent a code, say 499, and translate that to the hangup cause you want,
so that processing in the dialplan is different for a local or a remote timeout from the proxy."

This is hard core stuff, for people who have full control of the platform used ;-)
Previously it has caused patching asterisk unfortunately.
