How can one add custom dissection to a field that another
dissector has produced, without adding specific custom
knowledge to that other, more generic dissector?

Let's say a dissector for a specific Kerberos-based protocol
(e.g. packet-pktc.c) calls dissect_kerberos_main() from
packet-kerberos.c, but wants to do its own (further) dissection
for a specific sub field (e.g. KRB_SAFE User Data that is
kind-of-opaque to packet-kerberos.c) further on.

How can we do this?
