Natvis support is missing some ryml types about rapidyaml HOT 5 OPEN

I got the natvis wired up in my project. Unfortuantely the support seems incomplete. For example, I am using ryml::ConstNodeRef for a readonly YML file. The existing natvis has ryml::NodeRef but not ConstNodeRef. The result is that this object is not visualized and is still indecipherable.

Nevermind, I now see that there is natvis support. I just didn't see an issue for it so I assumed it was missing. It is here:

Thanks for reporting. At the moment I am limited in time, and it will take some weeks before I can look at this. PR for this would be welcome.

That's fair.

If I do decide to take this on it would be very helpful if there is some sort of overview of the primary ryml types (perhaps a comment in a header file somewhere?). I have only begun to use this library so I don't have any deep understanding of the primary types or how best to visualize them. If there is some preexisting documentation that would help speed things along considerably.

Thanks.

I tried poking at this a bit today. The existing natvis provides partial coverage. There is a missing set of parenthesis that is preventing [children] from working on NodeRef. Also, copying/modifying NodeRef to cover ConstNodeRef helps my usage quite a bit.

I'd like to get [KEYMAP] and friends to be able to dump their child keys. However, I'm not sure if this can be done because the NodeData does not have a reference to the tree and can therefore not look up the underlying buffer to find the pointers to the children based on their index.
