I think that what we really need is a simple way to configure that a
given number is an inbound number for the system and what should happen
with it - whether that number is a trunk number or a DID for some user.

Right now, we have a number of different mechanisms that can be used to
do this (the override in sipXbridge that has the 'operator' default,
dial plans, adding aliases to users, etc), but the user has to do them
'manually'.  The administrator should not have to understand the
difference between an alias and a dial plan and a hunt group and an
auto-attendant; they should be able to say "this is an inbound number
and this is where I want it to go" and sipXconfig should choose the
appropriate mechanism.

This would have the additional benefit that we could at the same time
ensure that these inbound numbers are never routed out to the PSTN just
to loop back (currently, there are ways that you can set that up that
cause that to happen) [1].
