Is there any need for wtap_get_bytes_dumped() or wtap_set_bytes_dumped()?

Nothing currently uses them - the progress bar for writing out a capture file counts packets, not bytes, and making it 
count bytes would require a pass through the capture to ask Wiretap how many bytes each packet would require before 
writing the file out - and writing out a capture file doesn't necessarily proceed 100% sequentially in any case.

Is there any use for those routines, or the bytes-dumped count they fetch and set?
