I'll have to see whether it'd be possible to put a mechanism into the
preferences code to allow "aliases" so that the "mtp3.mtp3_standard"
value will be supported on input but mapped to "mtp3.standard".

(There are some special built-in hacks in "prefs.c" for various sorts of
remapping; some of them do simple aliasing, and I vaguely remember
trying to put in an aliasing mechanism for dissectors to use and having
a problem with it, but I don't remember what the problem was.)
