It is not in Kamailio - it does support integer or strings in same 
switch, but both static values -- not sure if this is needed or of any 
use (I mean string and int in same switch).

I see switch useful with static values, and regexp will be a good 
addition. Main usage is to map static extensions, e.g.: 112, 911, 
voicemail menu, announcement services...
