Who knows ;-), currently(0.17-12) we can read more then 110 different protocol headers and create packets for about 30 different protocols. And what's with the application layer? Application layer protocols will be implemented through a simple module API. The modules can be written in C or (theoretically) in any other language. They will be loaded dynamically.
