Is that going to address the complaint from comment #2:

given that it *still* requires manual editing of the form you describe?
Fixing that in a fashion that *doesn't* require manual editing of dictionaries
would require some scheme by which one can specify, perhaps in the "dictionary"
file, that one and only one of dictionaries XXX, YYY, etc. should be included,
causing the RADIUS dissector to register a preference to control which of those
to include.
