windows libs have a lot of structs and it would be nice to have the ability to convert them to a string to see them in the debugger(e.g., CLSID).

Is there a way to do this? I've tried to pull out the code from the libs but it if a total clusterfuck.

This doesn't work to display them in visual D though. Requires a lot of hoops just to see a stupid string of the data.

OutputDebugString works in Visual Studio, so might work in Visual D as well.

std.conv.to will print a structure with field values, not sure if that helps you if you're using a debugger.

No, Visual D doesn't seem to use it either. I can, of course, create code... but that's a hassle.
