i think i see a glimmer

in asterisk 0.9.0.2, on an incoming pstn call through the
spa3k, the callerid number became usable as the extension
in extensions.conf.  so i could recognize, for example,
my mobile phone, callerid=8081234567, in

   exten => _#1/8081234567,1,Macro(vmm,s1)

so i could bypass a bunch of authentication crud (until
someone steals my mobile:-).

now, in 1.0.1, this does not seem to work.  could it be
the way i am catching the call?

    [ext-xxx]
    ; this catches the spa3k PSTN / Dial Plans / Dial Plan 1: = (S0<:123>)
    exten => s,1,NoOp()
    exten => _.,1,SetVar(foo=42)
    exten => _.,2,SetVar(bar=666)
    exten => _.,3,GoTo(ext-common,${EXTEN},1)

    [ext-common]
    exten => s,1,Background(zz-get-rid-of-george)
    exten => i,1,Hangup()
    exten => t,1,GoTo(ext-common,s,1)
    include => speeddials
    include => extensions
    include => conferences
    include => applications

    [applications]
    ; voicemail
    exten => _#1/8081234567,1,Macro(vmm,s1)
    ...
