Typically, for an array of N myprot.ufield values, they just put each one

It might be useful to have a call to do the tagging for you; no such call
currently exists.
Is it possible to append text to the field name after the field and
value have been added using proto_tree_add_item? I'd like to add the
"[index]" string that way. Otherwise I guess I would have to switch
case off the type to determine which proto_tree_add_XXX_format call to
use, even though I'm willing to accept the default formatting given
the type as set in the hf table.
Maybe proto_tree_add_item_format_field which allows controlling only
the format of the field name (and not the value) would be useful. Or
just as good for this purpose would be a proto_tree_add_item_element
or some such as you describe and the formatting for array indexes
would be common across dissectors if you accept default formatting.
