I presume you don't mean "store them in opt_comment options", as other apps should not have to know about special tags 
in comments to indicate that they're not really comments.

I'd go for registering a "wireshark preferences" option and just have it store raw preferences-file text; we'd also 
want, I think, another option for UATs, with the name of the UAT and its contents.
