I'd like to see something that allows a simple generic "graph this
protocol field from capture sequence vs time." I think that this applies
to a lot of protocols, especially those with sequence numbers, jitter
values, delay values, etc that have already been extracted by the
dissector. If you could arbitrarily specify a field found in a capture
and get a graph of that field with values taken from every packet in the
capture, perhaps with specified ranges or ip source/dst, etc, I think
that would be a very useful tool. I could really really use something
like that right now. A side effect of course is less flexibility than a
full blown statistics module, but at the same time, programming (in any
language) is not required to use it.

Still *another* interesting thing to do, as long as we're being
ambitious, would be a mechanism to allow taps/experts to be written in
Perl, Python, Ruby, Lua, Visual Basic, etc., so you don't have to know C
to write something to analyze data from a capture.
