Here is a thought, but it does not handle everything.
Each new version of the Wi-Fi spec (which is now around 4000+ pages in
size) introduces new IEs and new this and new that.
Currently, IEs are handled via a dissector table but extended IEs are
not handled via a dissector table and Categories are not handled via a
dissector table.
If more of these sort of things were handled via dissector tables,
then we could separate the Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7 and Wi-Fi 99 additions
into separate files, for the most part.
Perhaps we would need a mechanism for Wi-Fi X+1 to override some parts
of Wi-Fi X as well, but I have no idea how to handle that for the
moment.
