I agree...

Then I tried the same sort of thing with the 'callers' button and got
stuck by my dialplan... as there is no way of automatically pre-pending
the correct access number for an outside line - or am I missing
something? there is a 'dial-plan-prefix' but I think one needs a
'callers-returndial-prefix' .... or hack a dialplan that senses that the
dialed number is too short and prepends with the access number...
