So, where is your patch? :-)
Apart from chan_unicall, there is nothing in callweaver that has a
concept of calling party category, and I doubt that will change any time
time. Adding this new variable makes sense. I assume it also makes sense
for chan_unicall to look for such a variable, in order to set the
calling party category for outgoing calls. Are there any reasons why
that might cause trouble?
If we can agree on a change covering both incoming and outgoing calls, I
will change the code in SVN.
