My customer-internal context doesn't have a _X. in it actually, only the
customer-fwd context does.

customer-internal contains a bunch of includes for internal extensions and
for routes for long-distance,local, toll calls etc.

It's only the forward that has and needs the wildcard match as I need the
billing code in that context to be executed before the call goes into the
customer-internal context.

I suppose I could replace the _X. with a bunch of NXXX rules in
customer-forward but it seems needlessly complex to do so there as
customer-internal already controls what can be dialed/forwarded/transferred
to by the customer.
