This is actually a really important issue for me. I want the columns,
as they provide information that is not available otherwise, but I need
to be able to parse out the information easily.
After looking at the code in tshark.c, I agree with Elvis that it would
be very easy to add. I might in fact re-compile a custom version that
does it.
Any objections to adding this to Tshark? I'm still new to the way open
source projects are managed, is it best to submit a bug report?

In total agreement. I dug around a bit to see if it such an option
already
exists. It doesn't. The formatting code is in tshark.c print_columns().
I
think a new command line switch would be required for this, which is
probably not the most politically simple thing to do....
I also thought it would be nice to know where all the % options are
defined, but couldn't find anything over Sunday morning coffee :)
