I still don't agree with the wording as it implies one must combine this
action with the TCP pattern item or else, while one should simply ensure the
presence of TCP traffic somehow. This may be done by a prior filtering rule.

So here's a generic suggestion which could be used with pretty much all
modifying actions (other actions have the same problem and will have to be
fixed as well eventually):

 Using this action on non-matching traffic results in undefined behavior.

This comment applies to all instances in this patch.

Thanks for adding experimental tags and comments, however you didn't reply
anything about using a single action, or at least a single structure for
add/sub/set? I'd like to hear your thoughts.
