There should be a way to refactor such that the hf_ fields are
parameters, so that each user (ssl, dtls, etc) gets their own set of
filter names.
yes of course this can be done. I just don't know if this is really necessary. The Wireshark user will likely know if he is looking for SSL/TLS (on TCP connections) or DTLS (on UDP). If may be sufficient to use "tls.*" for both use cases. If we decide to unify filter names we shouldn't use the current "ssl.*" or "dtls.*".
If the user doesn't know if he wants to examine SSL/TLS or DTLS (maybe studying something generic about these kinds of encryption protocols) the user would like to have a filter prefix that will match both use cases.
