Hah, I had NMEA dissection on my TODO list, but other projects pushed that so
far to the back burner that I think it completely fell off the stove now.
Having a text-based dissector that's too generic means you wouldn't be able to
filter and separate AT from NMEA traffic, so overall I think it's better to
keep them separate. A preference as to how to decode the text *might* be
needed at some point if heuristics prove to be inadequate.
