If we add this I'm happy with a global Decode As functionality.
And it may be an added feature to have this in the preferences for TCP
and UDP too.


But I can find some issues while trying the p_mul patch:

1. The "Value" and "Type" columns makes no sense for P_Mul (and maybe
others).  The tooltip does not give any hints.

2. The text in "Current" column is more descriptive in the current
P_Mul preferences (not only the protocol short name)

3. It's possible to add more than one entry for P_Mul (in GUI).  It
seems like only the latest entry is used.  This happens when selecting
"Decode As..." on a P_Mul entry when already having a preference.  I
would expect the current entry to be highlighted.

4. My Wireshark does hang after changing the decode-as for P_Mul while
having a capture file loaded.  I don't know if this is related to your
patch.
