[Asterisk-Users] ParkAndAnnounce - Get Parking Extension

[John Todd]

ParkAndAnnounce is kind of a misnomer; you don't necessarily need to 
"announce".

I wholeheartedly agree that a variable (${PARKINGSLOT} perhaps?) 
should be set on the return of ParkAndAnnounce, and that value should 
find it's way into the "new" channel that is spawned by the 
ParkAndAnnounce goto-style call.
