*** 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.
