I thought somebody might complain about something like this, but I was more 
focused on the Wireshark (packet) context menu, where I was less inclined to 
make changes.  This however seems like a more valid use case to consider.  My 
question back would be - what "string" should be used by tshark?  The "display 
name" can have some undesirable characters in it from a command line 
perspective (ie probably require quotes), and the "internal" short name string 
isn't otherwise exposed for users to learn what is.
Should the "short name" be exposed on the tabbed dialog so users can learn it 
to apply it to a (new) tshark option?

Hi Michael, 
  
Sorry I come late in the discussion. I do not have access to a computer right 
now so I cannot easily look at the patch (the latest Gerrit diff page is rather 
smartphone unfriendly) but is there a way to activate heuristic dissectors from 
tshark / wireshark command line? I use an external tool launching both programs 
with the right command line and it would be a real functionality loss if it 
could not be done anymore. 
 Note that I consider your overall goal as a good achievement (it was 
frustrating not to be able to deactivate easily some weak heuristics) but I 
would dislike losing the ability to activate on demand a given heuristic that 
is deactivated by default for performance reasons.
  
Pascal.
