set.  It is just "catching" IAX up with the other channels.  I have no
problem with that at all.  Honestly, I never thought about using SIP headers
to pass variables.

I see it as a good feature, I was just ticked that a patch that had been
worked on for so long was killed only because it was channel specific, and
then this patch gets added.  I understand now that feature wise, this wasn't
really adding anything, it was more or less completing the feature set, a
feature that I was not aware of to begin with until now.
