Hello Guy,

I have a (maybe silly) question.
When should I use register_dissector() along with find_dissector() and
call_dissector(), and when should I use the traditional way of
dissector_add() along with dissect_PROTO() ?

It says nothing about it in README.developer, and I don't know what
shall I use in the future dissectors (what is preffered).
