If you could argue that the GSM Supplementary Services are a protocol,
then you could argue that it should have its own dissector.

If not, you might still want to have a "packet-gsm_ss.c" or whatever
with the routines, and a "packet-gsm_ss.h" or whatever with the #defines
and declarations of the routines.
