*SER scripting language is a domain specific language. I expect it offers 
higher level syntax than C provides. If not, which is the purpose of using a 
DSL?

Kamailio now allows integers and strings (static or pseudo-varaibles) into 
the 'switch' stament. It would be great also allowing regular expressions:

        switch($rU)
        {
            case "101":
                log("destination number is 101\n");
            break;
            case /^102/:
                log("destination number begins with 102\n");
            break;
            default:
                log("unknown destination number\n");
       }

Perhaps this is too much, but allowing just integers (and just static?) is not 
very useful IMHO. If so, it would be useful only to inspect some functions 
return code or SIP response codes.

Just my opinion. Best regards.
