I was not aware of the (+) format... basically "add" to the general

How far back does that go? T o 1.4.X ?
I don't know, but I checked a sip.conf from 1.2 (2012ish?) and I was using
it then.
Is there a documentation piece on that ?
I'm sure there is, I just don't know where :)
Another cool configuration file feature is templates (an exclamation mark
instead of a plus sign). It lets you define common 'snippets' once and
include them in each context as needed.
Here's an example from that same (1.2 based) project:
; templates
[digit-timeout](!)
exten = t,1, verbose(1,[${EXTEN}@${CONTEXT}])
exten = t,n, goto(${CONTEXT},s,1)
[h](!)
exten = h,1, verbose(1,[${EXTEN}@${CONTEXT}])
exten = h,n, goto(settle-card,s,1)
[i](!)
exten = i,1, verbose(1,[${EXTEN}@${CONTEXT}])
exten = i,n, goto(${CONTEXT},s,1)
[s](!)
exten = s,1, verbose(1,[${EXTEN}@${CONTEXT}])
[max-timeout](!)
exten = T,1, verbose(1,[${EXTEN}@${CONTEXT}])
exten = T,n, goto(max-time,s,1)
[x](!)
exten = _x.,1, verbose(1,[${EXTEN}@${CONTEXT}])
; authorized the card
[auth-card](h,i,s,max-timeout,digit-timeout)
exten = s,2, agi(write-cdr)
exten = s,n, set(PRODUCT=${CONTEXT})
exten = s,n, set(PER-MINUTE=0)
exten = s,n, set(PREAMBLE=${CUSTOMER}/menu/m1101)
exten = s,n,
agi(auth-card,${AUTH-FLAGS},${DEBUG-MODE},${VERBOSE-MODE})
exten = s,n, goto(theme,s,1)
The templates are inserted into the auth-card context when the file is
parsed. I don't have a 1.2 host running anymore, but a 'show dialplan
auth-card' (1.2) would look something like:
[auth-card](h,i,s,max-timeout,digit-timeout)
exten = T,1, verbose(1,[${EXTEN}@${CONTEXT}])
exten = T,n, goto(max-time,s,1)
exten = h,1, verbose(1,[${EXTEN}@${CONTEXT}])
exten = h,n, goto(settle-card,s,1)
exten = i,1, verbose(1,[${EXTEN}@${CONTEXT}])
exten = i,n, goto(${CONTEXT},s,1)
exten = s,1, verbose(1,[${EXTEN}@${CONTEXT}])
exten = s,2, agi(write-cdr)
exten = s,n, set(PRODUCT=${CONTEXT})
exten = s,n, set(PER-MINUTE=0)
exten = s,n, set(PREAMBLE=${CUSTOMER}/menu/m1101)
exten = s,n,
agi(auth-card,${AUTH-FLAGS},${DEBUG-MODE},${VERBOSE-MODE})
exten = s,n, goto(theme,s,1)
exten = t,1, verbose(1,[${EXTEN}@${CONTEXT}])
exten = t,n, goto(${CONTEXT},s,1)
Templates are also useful in other configuration files like sip.conf to
define 'classes' of parameters like 'dial-in-agent' or 'supervisor' that
can be included in endpoint definitions to reduce clutter, increase
consistency, and reduce maintenance.
