At least some other tools that take a protocol/interface description language and turn it into a dissector have 
separate "conformance" (.cnf) files to handle that; see, for example, asn2wrs and Samba's pidl.  That would be my 
inclination, as it means that you wouldn't have to hack the IDL files (and have to maintain modified IDL files).
