The way CallerID is set on the dialled channel is a somewhat complex series of
logic to deal with various situations.  It is probably what you want.
However, some people preferred the old way that simply copied the CallerID
blindly from caller to calling, and this new complex method broke their
dialplans.  Therefore, it was provided as a legacy option only.  If we were
running out of option keys, this would be a candidate for removal to make room
down the road.
