That still won't help.  Once the Asterisk pattern matching parser sees a
period in the pattern, it ignores anything after it.  (I'm not exactly
happy about that, but that's the way it is.)  In short, Asterisk doesn't
currently have a good way of handling this situation.  Hopefully
somebody infinitely smarter than I am will take pity on our plight and
give us a some more advanced pattern-matching tools.  (Hint, hint)
