But, in the interest of "more maintainable code," you can pass the option 
name and use "getopt_long()" in "C" or whatever language you use. For 
example,

 	agi(block-ani,--ani=555555555,--dnis=8005551212,--debug,--verbose)

vs

 	agi(block-ani|555555555|8005551212|y|y)

getopt_long() will do all the "heavy lifting" to parse the "command line" 
options for you.

Which one would you rather see in a dialplan you're trying to enhance or 
maintain?

Thanks in advance,
