However what you're trying to do makes me think if asterisk shouldn't be able to pass Early Dial on to the telephone network channels. What I am thinking is that you could define in extensions.conf that you wan't the Zap or Capi device to start sending numbers immediately, if the Zap device get's a complete number before the dialplan in extensions.conf it will decide that the call belongs to it and hooks up with the ringing notification to the caller. However if the number matches an extension already defined in the dialplan, it will hook up to that one.
The Zap channel could be made listening by default, or only if the first character is a specific character like 0.
This would be a sacrifice of a Zap channel everytime somebody starts dialing but I think it's worth it in many cases.
Probably this has been thought of before (or am I forgetting the minor detail that ruins the idea?) but I would like to hear what the developers have to say about it?

Hmm, that raises a lot of questions for the script... How many contexts do you have? Do they include each other. Is there any kind of rule around the extensions... etc.
All the extensions will just run the same macro so all these are just the same. What I did is that I converted the Swedish national numbering plan (E.164) with an AWK script to an extension like file. The purpose is being able to use early dialling for national calls (no overlap dialling available). It contains the starting digits and number lengths, like this:
04623XXXX 0462400XXX 0462401XXX 0462402XXX 0462403XXX 0462404XXX 0462405XXX 0462406XXX 0462407XXX 0462408XXX 0462409XXX 046241XXXX 046242XXXX 046243XXXX 046244XXXX 0462450XX 0462451XX 0462452XX 0462453XX 0462454XX 0462455XX 0462456XX 0462457XX 0462458XX 0462459XX 046246XXX 046247XXX 046248XXX 046249XXX 04625XXXX 0462600XXX 0462601XXX 0462602XXX 0462603XXX 0462604XXX 0462605XXX 0462606XXX 0462607XXX 0462608XXX 0462609XXX 046261XXXX 046262XXXX 046263XXXX 046264XXXX 046265XXXX 046266XXXX 046267XXXX 046268XXXX 046269XXXX
It's obvious that the following four lines will match exactly the same numbers as all the lines above:
0462[35]XXXX 04624[0-4]XXXX 04624[5-9]XXX 04626XXXXX
That is the conversation I would like a macro/script to do. What I thought about was if there are any kind of regexp compression programs or something like that.
