I also think it's a good idea.  Judging from what has happened
previously, you'll probably get no-one objecting until you commit
the changes, at which time a group from core will erupt from the
wood-work with a large collection of reasons for not doing it :-(.

Whilst we're at it, how about extending `-x' to print out the packet
in ASCII and hex (ala hd(1)).  I know the code includes the statement

 * (BTW, please don't send us patches to print the packet out in ascii)

but I find this feature very useful.  (I'll send you patches if you
are interested).
