Comment # 1 on bug 10284 from
Your particular issue is (m)DNS dissector specific as it explicitly formats
(part of) the info column to be:
col_append_fstr(cinfo, COL_INFO, ", \"%s\" question", qu ? "QU" : "QM");

However, I doubt this is the only dissector that uses double quotes in the info
column, and I don't think we want to "outlaw" them.

I also don't like the idea of search/replace with the output as the "field
data" would end up different between Wireshark and TShark.
