This language developed in time, at the beginning just few statements

language was the most suitable.
Could be an alternative to embed some language in the configuration, but
will require a lot of development and maybe internal structure changes.
Also, the config will be a wild garden, maybe more flexible, but more
exposed to troubles.

*** A new function is now available to perform
integer operations with
avps:
avp_op("source/destination", "operator/value/flags")
the result of this function is the evaluation of the expression:
'destination' = 'source' 'operator' 'value'. If the
'destination' is not
specified, then a new avp having the name and type of 'source' will be
created.
I'm just wondering, why SER developers chose that way of implementing
it's own language for configuration/scripting. Now we have
_functions_ for such simple operations as addition etc.
Why not just embedding some widely used language like python (perl or
other) into SER?
I think that would save much of en effort.
