Well, now we get into a lot of design philosophy discussion that I really
don't have time for today.  I will note that Kevin Fleming wrote the 's'
feature into the code before he worked at Digium and still owned the
company I now run...  I didn't understand his design at all for a long
time, but now it's second nature.

The 1 priority is in another context that pre-processes the calls, then
each customer has a series of 's' priority lines for their individual DID
numbers.

I use the 's' priority in some DNIS/CID-based call blocking here and there.

As far as versions, 1.2, 1.4, and 1.6.
