This is what I ended up doing. Copy paste TCAP and GSMMAP code into plugin and add my private opcode handling. Why do I need private opcode. Probably I don't understand how can I utilize this extension container as mentioned below. In my case what I need is switch to a new opcode such as 0xff, then dissect a bunch of private parameters. Are then defined in 3GPP maybe or maybe not. I think the problem I had is generic.
Someone wants to have something new for wireshark, and the new thing is easier to deploy under plugin. But it needs to inherit implementation from build-in dissector.
