Coloring rules as expert info

Hello,

I have quite a nice list of coloring rules for wireshark which help
diagnose network problems. I find it useful to add a column
frame.coloring_rule.string to display strange packets right away.

Sorting by this column allows to quickly find interesting packets in a
larger tracefiles. Although this is somewhat hindered by the following
bug: https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5703

Now I wanted to make it easier to find packets that are colored by
adding them to the expert infos using expert_add_info_format(...).

I wrote a patch that unfortunately does not work. I would be grateful if
somebody being more familiar with the wireshark code could give me a
hint to why calling expert_add_info_format like I do does not work.

Thanks,

Oliver Ripka
