Hmmm, this is interesting ...

Having recently created a program to generate Wireshark dissectors
from XDR I thought, why not do the same for GRPC (which is based on
Protobufs.)

I have done a little bit of investigation, and I believe it can be
done (in C++) but haven't written any code as yet.

I guess I will have to do some more work on this soon when my new
802.11 sub-dissector project is done.
