[asterisk-users] Issue with (pattern) matching extension

[Danny Nicholas]

It's a pattern matching thing;  the asterisk module "knows" how to process
stdexten, but thinks that "n" or "N" is a digit substitution.  When "n" or
"N" is "escaped" ([n] or [N]) the program knows to treat it as a literal and
not a pattern match.

That's capital N, isn't it?

Also, the prefix "_stdexten-." seems to work fine in the [stdexten] 
context, so I'm not sure what's different here.
