If we add this I'm happy with a global Decode As functionality.
And it may be an added feature to have this in the preferences for TCP
and UDP too.
But I can find some issues while trying the p_mul patch:
1. The "Value" and "Type" columns makes no sense for P_Mul (and maybe
others). The tooltip does not give any hints.
2. The text in "Current" column is more descriptive in the current
P_Mul preferences (not only the protocol short name)
3. It's possible to add more than one entry for P_Mul (in GUI). It
seems like only the latest entry is used. This happens when selecting
"Decode As..." on a P_Mul entry when already having a preference. I
would expect the current entry to be highlighted.
4. My Wireshark does hang after changing the decode-as for P_Mul while
having a capture file loaded. I don't know if this is related to your
patch.
