Back when the pick-up features were first designed, we decided to use
"*78*" for global pick-up, despite that "*78" was the prefix for
directed pick-up. In order to make that work, the pick-up redirector
has a hard-coded exception: <prefix># and <prefix>* are explicitly
excluded as directed pick-up requests. (But nobody is ever going going
to use '#' or '*' as extensions, we hope.)
The global pick-up code is actually configured separately, it just
happens that the default global code is one of the exceptions for the
directed pick-up prefix.
