The one place where we're doing that with ".src" and ".dst" is in the PGM 
dissector; in, for example, a Source Path Message, there's a field specifying 
the Address Family Indicator (AFI) for the source address and another 
specifying the address, which could be IPv4, IPv6, or, in theory, a number of 
other types.

If we support, for example, "pgm.nak.src == 127.0.0.1" and "pgm.nak.src == 
::1", with the former failing for an IPv6 pgm.nak.src and the latter failing 
for an IPv4 pgm.nak.src, that might work - if we do "pgm.nak.src == hostname", 
I'd be tempted to have that match either hostname's IPv4 or IPv6 addresses 
(and, if it has multiple IPv4 or IPv6 addresses, matching any of them, if we 
don't already do that).
