Debugging DMD-Win64 binaries under Visual Studio: void[] buffers don't show their contents. You can see the pointer and length, but it would be nice if they would also just present like ubyte buffers while debugging. Even though they're typeless, it's still useful to be able to see the bytes in the buffer...

I guess this is more a debugger problem that could be solved by the visualizer macros added by cv2pdb.

There is a visualizer display rule added to autoexp.dat for this now. Try it in https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/visuald/releases/tag/v0.3.38rc3
