Variable Inheritance

Variable names which are prefixed by "_" will be inherited to channels that are created in the process of servicing the original channel in which the variable was set. When the inheritance takes place, the prefix will be removed in the channel inheriting the variable. If the name is prefixed by "__" in the channel, then the variable is inherited and the "__" will remain intact in the new channel.

In the dialplan, all references to these variables refer to the same variable, regardless of having a prefix or not. Note that setting any version of the variable removes any other version of the variable, regardless of prefix.
