[OpenSIPS-Users] Using pseudo variables everywhere

[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

Hi Kristian,

That is a good question.

unfortunately, the way the pseudo-variable were initially added, drove 
us on a up-side-down approach:
    - the interpretation of the PVs is done inside the script functions 
- so the functions need to to be able to understand PVs
    - normal way is to have PVs totally transparent for functions - they 
need to be managed at script level (at upper level).

Regards,
Bogdan
