Description:	VMSayName accepts digits during playback and will jump to the extension entered in the current context. In that respect it acts similar to Background() or WaitExten(). This is not mentioned anywhere in the wiki: https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+13+Application_VMSayName so this bug could cause unexpected behavior in the dialplan. This actually suits my purposes. If you wrap VMSayName in a subroutine, you can catch all input with extension i and exit out early on interrupt. So naturally, I think it should be left alone and the wiki be updated with this behavior. ;) Thanks!
