I actually too started thinking that pretty_printers is a misleading
name for the project. Julien's PR to JSON gave me the idea to rename
the project to debug_printers. But now I've realised that it's not
necessarily limited to pretty printers/visualizers. The embedded GDB
extension module can contain other utilities like xmethods and new
commands. Just the other day I was debugging some code and thought
that a command to put a breakpoint at a boost::source_location could
be very helpful.

So, how about DebuggerUtils?
