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.

I think we should expose the short name to users.
Preferences have their internal name displayed in a pop-up. We could either
do the same, or have the internal name explicitly displayed in a column.
Should the enabled / disabled heuristic protocol given in the command line
be ephemeral or persistent? I believe it should be the former, like the DL
mapping value you can indicate manually in the command line and that does
not get stored.

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.
