It seems reasonable to me, as tcpdump has traditionally printed one-line
summaries for packets - even *with* "-v".

I don't know whether anybody out there uses it to do that kind of
detailed dissection.

There are probably other protocols for which a more detailed dissection
might be useful; snoop and Tethereal, by default, print one line for all
packets, but have flags that cause them to print out a *very* detailed
report on the packet, at all protocol layers.  snoop uses "-v", and
Tethereal uses "-V"; tcpdump could use either "enough" "-v"s ("-vvvvv"
or so), or could use a "-V" flag.
