In what way would your dissector use this information?  Implementations of the 
protocol your dissector is dissecting cannot, on most if not all OSes, see the 
ack number, as TCP just presents to protocol implementations running atop it a 
sequenced data stream, with no TCP segment boundaries or sequence or 
acknowledgment numbers visible.
