Lua's file I/O code is just a wrapper around the underlying libwiretap
functionality; that would have to be extended to support appending packets.
In the general case (libwiretap can write many more file formats than pcap and
pcap-ng), that requires more than just opening the underlying file for
appending.
It's also a bit tricky, for file formats requiring more than just opening the
underlying file for appending, if you want the file not to be irreparably
damaged if the appending process doesn't finish and close the file (e.g., if
the machine crashes, or the program crashes, or it runs out of disk space in
the process of writing the packets, or...).
