No planning on anything...
Still it shouldn't be too complex to add heuristic dissectors...
We should:
- change the current "lua dissector" (the wrapper that invokes the
lua user function) to use the signature of a new-style dissector and
pass the return of the lua function.
- change the register functions to register new-style dissectors
Anyway, being heuristic dissector preety "intensive" (they are called
too many times more than normal ones) you'd probably go better writing
your heuristic dissector in C.
