...and freezing the APIs, which I don't think we're ready to do yet (for 
example I'd like to:

	get rid of the use of -1 to mean "to the end of the tvbuff", offering 
instead separate APIs for that, so that we can make length fields 
unsigned and not have to worry about 32-bit length fields in packets 
having values with the high bit set;

	try to make "tvb_new_subset()" take only a "reported length" argument, 
with the actual length being min(data left in parent tvbuff, reported 
length);

	redo the handling of fields with "string" type so that we can handle 
text in packets in various character encodings).
