I will.

It would work. You always get 3 template arguments, even if you don't 
supply them. You just get the default allocator. But as I said (now I 
can point you to the debugger visualizers wiki :-) 
http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/DebuggerVisualizers), in this case 
the second wildcard will match the 2nd and 3rd template argument 
("$T2,$T3" in terms of "<*,*,*>").

BTW, I use multi-template-argument matching in multi_index_container 
visualizers when I need to pass exactly the same template arguments to 
another templates, but never when accessing the actual template argument 
for type casts etc.

Now please could you upload the most recent version of your visualizers 
to the boost vault at

  
http://boost-consulting.com/vault/index.php?directory=Debug/Visualizers_MSVC_8

? Please if you do also attach some license info, as I did with 
boost__multi_index_container.msvc8.vis.txt. If you want, you can add 
similar comments/headers into your file(s), otherwise I kindly ask you 
for permission to do this myself. Of course you keep all the credits!

Thanks,
Filip
