OT: Voice Gateway Dial-Peer

Hi,

I'm just starting to learn about some voice stuff and see configurations
similar to this:

dial-peer voice 1 pots
 incoming called-number .
 direct-inward-dial

From what I gather the "incoming called-number ." matches ANY inbound
called number. What I"m confused on is how that works. I was under the
impression that the period (.) wildcard matches on any SINGLE digit. To
match any number string I would have expected something like incoming
called-number .* or perhaps .T.

If period only matches a single digit, how does that match against ANY
called number?

Thanks!
