The only way to register a (non-heuristic) dissector into a table from lua now
is through DissectorTable_add, which calls dissector_add_string,
dissector_add_uint or dissector_add_uint_range. Those functions do in turn call
dissector_add_handle, but now there is no way to just call it directly, without
actually adding a pattern for the dissector. In other words, you can't make a
dissector show up just in the Decode As... dialog, without also assigning it a
specific port/wpanid/whatever.
Making the first argument optional, or adding a new method to expose this would
seem helpful?
