Oops. I almost forgot intra-organisational 4 digit extension dialling. Not just company, but organisational, where a company may have multiple organisational units. It might be possible to hack together a flat intra-business 4 digit extension dial lookup in the native dialplan, but trying to make it a multi-level organisation lookup would be pure hell... unless you farm the task out to a more advanced scripting langauge like python, perl whatever.
