That's awesome. Did you actually find the Intrinsic element referenced in any natvis documentation? I've never seen it and it's the exact tool I was wishing existed.

I found Intrinsic element description in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Xml\Schemas\1033\natvis.xsd" and their examples of use in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\Packages\Debugger\Visualizers\stl.natvis"
