All-

After reviewing the docs and archive for past couple of months, I have not
found this issue discussed.

We have a binary protocol over TCP. I have the PDUs being dissecting
correctly, but if multiple PDUs are in the same TCP "packet" they all appear
together in the tree (each as a tree item). Is it possible to have each PDU
appear on its own in the summary? I am using the tcp_dissect_pdus() routine.

It makes it very difficult to follow the exchanges in our protocol when some
are "hidden", and although I could use the Info column to provide some
information that would not be as clean as having different summary lines.

Thanks for the time and effort that has gone into this wonderful program.
