No, I understood what you meant :-)

Yes, but it won't look into the data provided in each extension 
priority, because that is parsed by the apps themselves.

In addition, there are various bits of the dialplan load (merging 
contexts together, etc.) that can't be done without looking at the one 
that is currently in memory, or it would miss potential errors.

I agree it would be handy to have, but I think the implementation is 
non-trivial at best.
