[Core] gdb/VS Pretty-printers for Boost

There's been a number of independent efforts to produce pretty-printers (or
"visualizers") for different popular Boost libraries. The one I like most
due to its thoughtful execution is probably this one
<https://github.com/ruediger/Boost-Pretty-Printer>. But maintaining a set
of pretty-printers out of tree is a challenge for all the usual reasons.
Having libraries optionally supply and maintain them is much more
sustainable.

Would it be possible to define a small set of standard ways (file
locations, build steps) for a library to store and install pretty-printers
for gdb and/or Visual Studio?

Thanks,
Jeff
