How do people here feel about adding the ability to see Community ID flow hashes in Wireshark?

I.e., compute the community ID for the flow to which a packet belongs, and add it to the protocol tree as a calculated 
field?

For context, this is a standardized implementation of flow hashing, to simplify linking/pivoting flows across data 
sets. There's more detail below, including a Python implementation

How about a higher-level pseudo-code description of the algorithm?  That way, it 1) doesn't require the implementer to 
know Python, 2) doesn't include irrelevant details such as code to use dpkt to read a pcap file, etc..
