This would be great, hopefully it is a simple as doing the equivalent of
wslua_deregister_filehandler, but I am afraid that it will not work for open
capture files. If a close pcap + reload Lua + reopen pcap sequence is
implemented, ideallly the selected packet is also restored (bonus!).

I'll stash it on my to-do list for next year (feel free to take it though :)).
