Would anyone object to a g_warning if an extended value string has to
fall back to linear search? It probably indicates either a typo in the
value-string or somebody not understanding how extended value strings
work.

Didn't want to put this in without asking because if there is a reason
I'm not aware of it would cause a ton of fuzz failures.

P.S. I thought of this while digging around thinking about
https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8467 - I'm still
technically waiting for the original reporter to ACK it, but if anyone
else has feedback it would be appreciated.

Hi Evan,

+1 on my side. It would allow to clean the tables.

Pascal.
