Wouldn't you have to do a linear search inside each message? If I
specify arg7='3.14159', wouldn't that mean that all messages would have
to be searched to see if they had 7 arguments, then checking the message
type (which you'd also have to specify in the match somehow) and finally
comparing the message to see if it matches, taking into account the byte
order.

Also, I imagine that the matching rule syntax could potentially get
pretty hairy (with the recursive type system), unless you only want to
match on toplevel arguments.

I think that adding a detail field is simple enough...
