My point was that Asterisk is already prepared (when finding prompts) to
automatically 'shorten' the LANGUAGE code by removing suffixes until it
finds what it is looking for; so if you have set LANGUAGE to fr_special,
and you ask for 'demo-instruct' to be played, Asterisk will first look
for demo-instruct in the fr_special directory, then in the fr directory,
and finally in the 'no language code' directory.

I am suggesting that the code in Asterisk that directly responds to
language codes (say.c, app_voicemail.c and other places) should *ALSO*
automatically shorten language codes, so that if LANGUAGE is set to
fr_special then say.c will still use the fr syntax for speaking
numbers/dates/times.
