It's not a generated field (the bytes are fetched directly from the
packet without any modifications) so this would be wrong.

Right I missed the fact that we are also highlighting the payload in the bytes panel and not only indicating the length. So I agree it is not suitable.

I suppose Sake has a use case for the tcp.payload which may lead us to
a hint for how to mark such fields?
Because we may end up with udp.payload, ssl.payload, http.payload,
sctp.payload, tftp.payload, etc. and that would mess up a bit if we
don't handle them correct.  Right?
