Guy Harris checked in some changes a few days ago so that it should now be possible to have strings in dissector tables.

Currently this functionality isn't in use, but could be useful for
registering OIDs, MIME-types etc.

MIME types, at least. The strings are text strings, so you could use OIDs only by representing them as text strings.

We might want to have support for "byte string" (FT_BYTES) dissector tables as well.
