It's crossed my mind that this might be a good way to do it, but I
don't honestly know what the cost/benefit ratio would be. I've not
looked into it particularly far, and mostly just lived with natvis
(which is far better than the previous incarnation of debug viewers,
despite all of the & and < problems).
