[Asterisk-Users] Error in config sample for GoToIf?

[Brian Capouch]

My teeth are on edge after this one.  A couple of perfectly good hours 
of my life, and I still don't know what's going on. . . .

The extensions.conf.sample that comes with the current SVN trunk has 
this line, in an example that shows how to use ChanIsAvail:

exten => s,n,GoToIf([${AVAILSTATUS} = "1"]?autoanswer:fail)

I couldn't get this to work unless I surrounded the first part of the 
test with quotes, too, like this:

exten => s,n,GoToIf(["${AVAILSTATUS}" = "1"]?autoanswer:fail)

Leaving aside the completely separate madness of trying to determine 
just what values mean what for the variable $AVAILSTATUS (which I would 
be glad to receive a pointer to), is it indeed the case that the example 
in the distribution is in error, or is there some other subtle rule that 
is causing the behavior of this line to be correct with the extra quotes 
but incorrect otherwise?

Thanks.

B.
