Visual Studio Debugger "renderer" support for Boost.Container ?

MS Visual Studio's Debugger comes pre-loaded with "renderers" (I forget what S.T.L. actually called them) for the containers and smart pointers supplied with the compiler. Looking at a Boost Container in the debugger is not nearly so nice. Has anyone looked into adding renderers for them?

The ones written and assorted resources seem to generally huddle up at: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/DebuggerVisualizers -- Lars Viklund | zao@acc.umu.se

They are called visualizers. Boost has bunch of them here:

No visualizers for Container though. That being said it is not
difficult to write your own visualizers once you know internal
implemenation of a container. Making one for container::vector is
copy-paste visualizer for std::vector + few adjustments. On the other
hand it is practically impossible to do the same for deque.
