I'm thinking of adding a logical view. This would be a global toggle
(probably in the menu), which would act as a flag for certain
dissectors to coalesce actual data packets together before handing them
off to the sub dissector.

I'm thinking primarily for fragmented TCP and UDP but I'm certain there
are other protocols which could use this. 

It would give us the two main modes of usage.

physical: an actual look at the packets as on the wire
logical:  packet level information for debugging protocol problems.

Comments?
