I think I understand how to move the GotoIfTime into the exten macro but
I hadn't thought of the problem that wuld cause for calling desk-to-desk
after hours.  Could you give an example of what you're referring to when
you say to "match against internal extensions(inside the macro)".  I'm
not quite following that statement.

[macro-stdexten]
;
; Standard extension macro:
;   ${ARG1} - Extension  (we could have used ${MACRO_EXTEN} here as well
;   ${ARG2} - Device(s) to ring
;
; Ring the interface, 20 seconds maximum
exten => s,1,GotoIfTime(8:00-21:30|mon-fri|*|*?s,3)
exten => s,2,Goto(s,4)
exten => s,3,Dial(${ARG2},20)
exten => s,4,Voicemail(u${ARG1})
exten => s,5,Hangup
exten => s,103,Voicemail(b${ARG1})
exten => s,104,Hangup
