Description:I updated from CVS a little while back, and now notice that
the expr upgrade I submitted earlier is now broken with respect to double quotes! They appear to be stripped now before eval, which destroys most of the usefulness of the features I added. I haven't investigated yet what was modded to make this happen... I'll investigate when I get a moment.

Quotes are now used to help work around the processing of "," into "|".  You can escape your quotes with \.  Of course you could also escape a comma with \, so the new quote handling is not not really required, but it does, presumably, lead to more readable stuff.  For example:

exten => 1,1,Foo("this, that","and the other, for now")

As opposed to:

exten => 1,1,Foo(this\, that,and the other\, for now)

If you want to see more take a look at process_quotes_and_slashes in pbx/pbx_config.c

Are you still able to do your example with quotes by escaping them?  Can we close this out?

Should be fixed when CVS mirrors update.  I changed pbx_config to use ' instead of " as the quote symbol.

Use ' instead of " for quoting in extensions.conf (bug ASTERISK-1847)
