I'm saying for making it easier to configure PJSIP for users there could 
be hardcoded types which represent the common types that users need. If 
more control is required than the lower level detailed ones can be used. 
It is certainly possible to have 'phone' and 'trunk' types which are 
useful for a good percentage.

Your pattern idea I would say is an alternative way for doing it, but is 
still more complicated than distinct types and requires explanation.

Given the following (even without documentation) could someone coming 
from sip.conf understand it?

[1000]
type=phone
secret=notverysecret
context=trusted
disallow=all
allow=g722
mailbox=1000

I err on the side of yes. That's what I think is needed. Heck, it's hard 
enough to get people to realize they can use templates.
