Yes, some sleep can solve even difficult problems, as we all know ;-)
I'll use another letter, -x  as
in eXtension, luckily that one is free (anyway we just got 4 letters
left (3 considering x) so either we move to a richer alphabet or the
--long option migh become a necessity in the future).

-x is already used in tethereal for hex output :-(

And we might want to add lua scripting for tethereal as well (probably not as a first step, of course).

We might want to use X (for eXtension)? Other ideas are welcome...

Fortunately, we have some more letters left, as we can use upper and lower case letters for different options :-)
