Perhaps, if possible, we should also support a drop-down list of enumerated
field values, similar to the drop-down lists of field names?  That might
eliminate most, if not all, of the use for the Filter Expression Dialog (which
I originally created to imitate a similar dialog in Microsoft Network Monitor
2, with some thought to supporting NetMon 2's style of constructing filter
expressions entirely through a dialog; however, NetMon 3 dropped that dialog
and went with a text box similar to Wireshark's, so...).
