Perhaps I should have supplied a different example.  Sometimes the
inband DTMF says the caller is checking their messages, sometimes the
caller is leaving a message, sometimes the PBX just wants the message
waiting lights to be refreshed, sometimes the PBX is logging a voicemail
port which didn't respond, etc.

I.e. the set of applications which need to be invoke varies based on the
DTMF ... it sounds like the best way to handle these types of issues is
to use session.execute in javascript and pay the price of leaving the
javascript interpeter running.  I don't see a way of just setting variables
and handling the rest in the dialplan since I can't use conditionals in
the dialplan after the application to parse the DTMF has been called.
