The mago debug engine/expression evaluator plugin does not have a
visualizer language to adapt the display of specific types as C++ has.

The expression evaluator plugin that is used with the VS debug engine
can evaluate "obj.toString()" in the watch window, though.
Unfortunately, slice return values such as strings cannot be displayed
for 64-bit code due to the non-standard extern(D) ABI.
