There's a comment in "packet-x11.c" that says

	 * - add hidden fields so we can have x11.circulate-window in addition
	     to x11.opcode == 13

At some point, we should add support for, in filter expressions,
comparing "enumerated" fields (fields with a "value_string" table
associated with them) with the strings from the table.  That should
handle that case, as well as similar items in other protocols.

Another comment says

	 * - use a faster scheme that linear list searching for the opcode.

If that's referring to searching the "value_string" table, we might also
want to make a general way of doing e.g. hashed lookups in those tables.
