proto_tree_add_item_ret_uint() returns unmasked value - should it?

[Anders Broman <anders.broman () ericsson com>]

Hi,
proto_tree_add_item_ret_uint() returns the value corresponding to the length of the value fetched e.g uint8, uint16 etc 
but does not take the mask of
the hf entry into consideration which lead to a bug in an proprietary dissector I have.
Should it in fact return the value displayed in the corresponding hf variable e.g take the mask into consideration?
Regards
Anders
