/*** DOCUMENTATION
	<function name="EVAL_EXTEN" language="en_US">
		<synopsis>
			Evaluates the contents of a dialplan extension and returns it as a string.
		</synopsis>
		<syntax>
			<parameter name="context" />
			<parameter name="extensions" />
			<parameter name="priority" required="true" />
		</syntax>
		<description>
			<para>The EVAL_EXTEN function looks up a dialplan entry by context,extension,priority,
			evaluates the contents of a Return statement to resolve any variable or function
			references, and returns the result as a string.</para>
			<para>You can use this function to create simple user-defined lookup tables or
			user-defined functions.</para>
			<example title="Custom dialplan functions">
			[call-types]
			exten => _1NNN,1,Return(internal)
			exten => _NXXNXXXXXX,1,Return(external)

			[udf]
			exten => calleridlen,1,Return(${LEN(${CALLERID(num)})})

			[default]
			exten => _X!,1,Verbose(Call type ${EVAL_EXTEN(call-types,${EXTEN},1)} - ${EVAL_EXTEN(udf,calleridlen,1)})
			</example>
			<para>Any variables in the evaluated data will be resolved in the context of
			that extension. For example, <literal>${EXTEN}</literal> would refer to the
			EVAL_EXTEN extension, not the extension in the context invoking the function.
			This behavior is similar to other applications, e.g. <literal>Gosub</literal>.</para>
			<example title="Choosing which prompt to use">
			same => n,Read(input,${EVAL_EXTEN(prompts,${CALLERID(num)},1)})

			[prompts]
			exten => _X!,1,Return(default)
			exten => _20X,1,Return(welcome)
			exten => _2XX,1,Return(${DB(promptsettings/${EXTEN})})
			exten => _3XX,1,Return(${ODBC_MYFUNC(${EXTEN})})
			</example>
			<para>Extensions on which EVAL_EXTEN is invoked are not different from other
			extensions. However, the application at that extension is not executed.
			Only the application data is parsed and evaluated.</para>
			<para>A limitation of this function is that the application at the specified
			extension isn't actually executed, and thus unlike a Gosub, you can't pass
			arguments in the EVAL_EXTEN function.</para>
