------- Comment #6 from luis.ontanon@xxxxxxxxx  2007-08-28 19:27 GMT -------
The code to handle VarBind is already convoluted, while I agree that It would
be nice to have an expert item marking such cases that would mean use different
code to handle every type of variable.

By using proto_tree_add_item I get all the "conforming" cases with very little
and straightforward code, if instead of that I'd be using proto_tree_add_xxx to
add the values and check for conformance the code would become as convoluted as
it was before the rewrite (or even more).

So, IMHO, while I agree this is a bug, The price to pay for fixing it is to
high for what we would get back.
