As I've written in my other mail, I would expect a dialog box in this

what you want! Should I filter !(ip.addr == 10.0.0.1) instead, which
results in ...".
That applies to *any* field when you do a "!=" comparison; it's not
unique to ip.addr (that's probably the most common example, but tcp.port
and udp.port are probably also somewhat common places where this
surprises users). If we're to pop up a warning, I'd pop it up for any
use of "!=", and offer a "don't show this dialog any more" checkbox so
that the user can say "OK, I understand now" and not be bothered in the
future.
