To be more specific, this is not an evaluation environment, and the same
tools that parse the config for sip.conf also parse the config for
extensions.conf.  So to do what you're suggesting would massively break
existing setups.  If you want better compression, might I suggest that you
turn on execincludes and write your own script that will generate your
configuration file.  You can then do all sorts of neat things within an
evaluation context, without breaking other configurations.
