Can you use variables in the target of a GoTo() statement?

What I am specifically thinking of is this;

[from_some_source]
exten => s,1,AGI(look_up_stuff.agi,${CALLERID(num)},${EXTEN})
; this AGI script sets variables: next_context, next_ext, next_step
exten => s,n,GoTo(${next_context},${next_ext},${next_step})

Will this work? Does Asterisk evaluate expressions like this, or does it
expect literals?

It most certainly will work. It evaluates on use.

Thanks very much. I tried it, and it worked beautifully. Exactly as I
expected.

There is something a little bit "ZX Spectrum BASIC" about an evaluated GOTO,
but sometimes it's the least messy way of accomplishing something.
