[OpenSIPS-Users] async() and config actions call stack

[Liviu Chircu]

Hi Vitalii,

Indeed - we have thought about this alternative ever since we introduced 
"resume route".  However, the amount of work required to make this 
happen is immense, and would retard the development of other, 
potentially much more useful features.  It is our belief that, for the 
moment, having to break down the logic into "before" and "after" 
sections is not that much of a deal-breaker (I can personally attest to 
that!).  Here are two tips to make your script more readable:

* try breaking it down into multiple files, grouped by business logic

* try to have a naming convention for the resume routes, for example: 
"resume_lnp_dip"
