Description
I'm wonder if variable in watch window can be displayed using gdb pretty printers or equivalent system.
I make a test with gdb and std::vector type is shown in "raw" format. Pretty printers is enabled because I can see variable in "pretty" format within command window (Debug.MIDebugExec print myvar).

Research direction
Start by tracing how MIEngine supplies values to the watch window and compare that path with the Debug.MIDebugExec print myvar result described in the issue. Determine how gdb or lldb pretty-printer output should be represented; done when std::vector and equivalent formatted values appear in the watch window rather than raw form.
