Is there any use case for 'get full variable' that does not need the 
passed variable 'wrapped' with '${}?'

The only times I've used it are like:

         agi_get_full_variable("${CALLERID(num)}", cid);
         agi_get_full_variable("${SIP_HEADER(P-Charge-Info)}", pci);

If not, does it make more sense to update the documentation to document 
the inconsistency with 'get variable' or does it make more sense to change 
'get full variable' to be consistent with 'get variable?'
