Tested.  Seems to do what it says it will.

While not in the spirit directly of the double-# transfer trick, you 
might want to see my long-winded discussion about how other keys 
might be configured to do other things:

I think I've talked about this a few times in a few different posts, 
but the short of it is: wouldn't it be great to just press a single 
key to have some dialplan action taken without hanging up on either 
side of the conversation?  This should probably be a different 
bugnote, but I'm out of time.  Anyone else think this might be useful?
