I’m debugging some slice-heavy code using `lldb` from VSCode, and it’s excessively difficult to follow, because the slices aren’t null-terminated, so the debugger displays arbitrary amounts of string, and I have to figure out how much of it actually belongs to the slice.

Is there a trick to get the `slice.ptr` section to display just the amount covered by `slice.len`?
