GDB uses internal functions of C++'s runtime to do the

hairier with respect to the internal fields, no?
That wouldn't be a considerable effort on its own (I think all
necessary machinery is already part of druntime.rt package) but
right now you would need to have druntime built with debugging
symbols to get anything done.
For C++ standard containers it is not a problem because those are
defined in header files. If AA implementation was switched to
templates, it would "just work" for druntime too.
