At first I dismissed this new feature, then I read through and realized two thing, one, you can already insert pauses, but not waits in a phone number. The second, this has some application to me, but not as much as it used to. Let me explain.
Back in the day, we had these analog systems to deal with. When you dialed from country to country you had to wait for a switch to open between country code and phone number. So we used to guess how many pauses, or commas to insert into the modem setup to accommodate the wait. Then we shared out setup notes. Via written notes. It was cutting edge to dial in from primitive places like "angl-and" or "bell-jum". Forget about Asia, just get your email when you get to "awe-strale-yuh". And yes, smart ass, there would be hundreds, cause the office critters back home never stopped churning them out, sending greetings to the directory, "cc all"-ing and such.
