Check col is deprecated and should be removed.
Well, you know, I don't know. In this dissector it's protecting not only the
col_*() calls but also some val_to_str()'s and other non-trivial amounts of
work.
Should we discuss the concept of removing all check_col()'s again? In
looking at the PPP dissector, for example, it seems there may be a fair
amount of work saved by keeping them.
Maybe it should be on a case-by-case basis?
