Hi,

 -1.

It adds bloat to the API, adding noting really.

Thanks,
Jaap

Hi,
Wouldn't it be handy to have a proto_tree_new_item_get_val_ which would
return the value
thus avoiding to having do tvb_get_.. in conjunction with
proto_tree_new_item() when the value
is needed in a dissector?

Would an function per field type be necessary? like
proto_tree_new_item_get_val_int32, proto_tree_new_item_get_val_uint32
etc or is there a smarter way of doing it?

Any one interested in implementing it?
