Yes...

...but it also occurs on non-Windows platforms as well, so it is an
error to make that behavior specific to Ethereal on Windows.

There's also no reason to make it work only if no other command-line
arguments are specified; I checked in a change that enables that
behavior on all platforms, and works even if other command-line
arguments are specified (e.g., if you run "ethereal -n foobar.pcap" from
the command line).
