What would that routine do?

For the protocol tree, there's a fairly standard format for items:

	{name}: {value}

and not only "proto_tree_add_item()", but all the non-"_format"
"proto_tree_add_XXX" routines will generate the visual representation of
the item for you.

An equivalent routine for the summary line would make sense only with a
standard format; what would that format be?
