Hi,

Yep this would be wise . I would like to regenerate the
GIOP subdissectors on a regular basis, to keep things
in step with ethereal_gen.py updates.  

On the other point about name collisions, we would need a
nice "decode as" feature as I have discussed before. This one
would have to handle selections to decode similar operation names
both within the same IDL (subdissector) , and in different IDL's.

Could we not extend the current "decode as" function to
allow users to select which one they want. ie: "Decode as" can
resolve not only down to subdissector level, but also down to registered
functions within a subdissector.

I will think about this during holidays.

Cheers / Frank..
