Dialplan is not the simplest route to solve ANY problem.  It is the
simplest route to solve simple problems.  Writing a while loop in AEL or
lua is much simpler then writing one in dialplan.  Also writing large
complex telephony applications is simpler in AEL or lua (or even AGI)
because they give you better tools to manage complexity than raw
dialplan does.  Performance wise, lua should be faster than Dialplan,
AEL, or AGI.
