In article <CAKEcVxX44muVWV_YWaXCxPjH-ouSjJkX7aNkRyeJ1-R1xpGi+Q_at_[hidden]> you write:

This is a great idea, but the name 'pretty_printers' does not convey
to me what is going on.  (Naming things is hard.)  How about
'gdb_printers'?  It's only useful for gdb.  Visual Studio has it's own,
different, mechanism for providing pretty output in the debugger -- VS
calls them visualizers.
