Not inside a square bracket it doesn't. There a caret normally means
"invert the set" if it is in the first position. See e.g. "man grep" or
just about any other text describing standard regexps.
>From reading pbx.c (EXTENSION_MATCH_CORE) it seems that asterisk does not
implement the inverted set inside []. That is ok, I guess, since the
regexps in Asterisk are among the most nonstandard ones anyone has ever
seen. :-)
