The Token visualizer in clang.natvis makes debugging Clang in Visual Studio much easier for keywords (because a given keyword is always the same), but it doesn't work very well for identifiers (because they are all different). This change has the visualizer display the name of the identifier. I have been using this daily, and I find this simple change has lead to a much-improved day-to-day experience.
