Comment # 8 on bug 11917 from 
While Wireshark can't control the direction of protocols, the two thoughts I
had were:
1. Schrodinger's cat (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schr%C3%B6dinger%27s_cat),
in that you are involving Wireshark in something its intended to observe
(really hope I have that analogy right).
2. This seems very similar to using capture comments to further dissection
(https://code.wireshark.org/review/9686/), which also seems like a bad idea.

This is more a critique of the protocol than the patch that provides the
functionality.  Don't have a reason to reject the functionality, I just really
don't want to encourage it in other protocols that may be as flexible.  I think
my biggest objection is that the string used is coming from Wireshark, NOT the
protocol.
