There are a few things missing from this proposal:

 - we need management API, some voicemail APIs let us do things like delete
voicemails
 - we need a way to open a voicemail for recording, this is possible on some
protocols

So I propose:

Conn.I.Voicemail: looks similar to Conn.I.MailNotification, has API to list,
delete, notify. Doesn't include cellular-specific voicemail features, they
should go on Conn.I.Cellular.

Chan.I.Voicemail: this is wjt's current Chan.I.VoicemailRetrieval, but with
tokens instead of timestamps. Depends on Chan.T.Call. Plus has an extra
property that lets you open a channel to record a voicemail for someone without
having to call them first.

I'm wondering how a call that gets redirected to voicemail should be notified
(I think that on some protocols we can tell this has happened, actually, I
think on some protocols you have to redirect to voicemail yourself.. I'm not
sure). All Call channels could implement Chan.I.Voicemail, then emit a signal
if it gets directed + set the recording property = True.

If people like this approach, I'll cook up some specxml.
