Pickup(), PickupChan()… PickupQueue()?

Hi, I’m currently using Pickup() to pickup calls from queues, but this is VERY
annoying because often users from different queues dialed the very same extension (for example they pressed ‘1’ to reach something but in different submenus). Other times they didn’t dial anything but they end up in the very same queue, so the extension to pickup is the number they called. So every time I want to send users to a queue I have to put a Goto() before the Queue() app because I need to uniquely identify the extension (for example Goto(QueueName,1)). This is annoying. Really annoying. It also makes the dialplan hard to read. Since we also have PickupChan() is to would be nice to have PickupQueue()
too. That way we shouldn’t care about the extension, we should simply write PickupQueue(QueueName). Simple and clear, the dialplan thanks.
