This sparked a thought with me and I've been meaning to delve through the
docs and/or ask the question for a while now. What is the preferred way of
doing extension.conf? I've seen some documentation that's in the format
"1234,1,Command(opt|opt)" but other examples show it as
"1234,1,Command,opt|opt" and it seems in a lot of places the command doesn't
necessarily need the brackets ("Busy()" versus "Busy" for example)

I guess the parser makes a lot of options possible, but what is the
preferred/defined syntax?
