[asterisk-users] Can Asterisk match a literal "*" in extensions.conf

[d tbsky]

i just met the same problem. i want to match extension that end with a
number, but can not find a way. i also found that "_.X" match all
extension, but won't match any caller-id number in dialplan. maybe it
is a bug. but it seems not important since "_.X" is useless anyway.
