Theoretically speaking since native hangup causes are now stored on the 
channel [1] it would be possible to extend this to allow them to be 
explicitly set in the dialplan as well (like Hangup allows you to do) 
and ultimately leverage them in channel drivers when hangup actually 
occurs. Of course since the results from all dialed channels are stored 
you'd need an aggregate result in some cases.
