What value does noop() add?
I start my contexts with
exten = s,1,
verbose(1,[${EXTEN}@${CONTEXT}!<application specific cruft>.'
(I define a template named 's' and reference it in all contexts.)
This way, you get a nice little console message saying where you are in
the dialplan in a format that you can easily 'double-click-and-drag'
(picking up the evaluated '${EXTEN}@${CONTEXT}') so you can type 'dialplan
show ' followed by <shift><insert><enter> to display the relevant portion
of the context.
While the OP's use of noop() is appropriate (a placeholder or 'no
operation') the contraction may be confusing to the non-English,
non-assembly language programmers among us.
Further, I find the common practice of using the 'side effect' of noop()
(displaying text on the console) egregious when there are obvious and more
versatile applications specifically for that purpose -- verbose() and
log().
I'd like to drive a stake into the abuse of the lowly noop().
