Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Autocomplete for protocol names

Hi.

I have just committed a patch which enables autocomplete and
autocompletion list of protocol names in the filter entry.  But this
has some side effects, because it currently also autocompletes
operators (when typing "and" or "or") and values (typing something
like "ip.tos.precedence > 3" will popup "3comxns").

I don't know how to fix this yet, but I leave the code in so more
people can try the feature and maybe fix this issue?  I guess we could
try figure out if the user is typing an operator or a value.

Or maybe just add a preference value (turn on/off) and document this behavior?
