Right now, tvb_format_text returns guchar* but I think it shoudl return
gchar* instead: 1) its return value is used in other string functions
2) it returns the value of format_text, which is of type gchar* anyway.
As long as the usual care is taken when dereferencing "gchar *" and handing the result to <ctype.h> macros, that seems reasonable.
