That thought had crossed my mind, but the issue is the byte string is being
created in proto_construct_match_selected_string (not in print.c where PDML is
outputted).  However in print.c where proto_construct_match_selected_string is
called, the comment above it is:

/* XXX - this is a hack until we can just call
 * fvalue_to_string_repr() for *all* FT_* types. */

So is the "right" fix to address it there?
