Currently Wirshark users can write their own dissectors for any protocol in
form of DLL plugins.
Sometimes it is useful and necessary to write a plugin for a specific data link
type (encapsulation) rather than a protocol. A user may want to modify the
current dissector for a data link type from scratch.
So I think adding this feature to Wireshark will be useful.
(e.g. I want to dissect the ethernet packets with a specific (proprietary)
ether-type in a completely different manner than current ethernet dissector. So
I need to modify current ethernet data link type code.)
