Why shouldn't the mailbox definition inherit the context defined on the SIP
entry?

Why should we have to create each SIP/IAX/(etc) entry, define it's context,
and then also define the context it's voicemail is in? [default] has no
rights & privelidges that should put it above any other context, does it?
