Long ago, I created customized [debug visualizers](https://itk.org/Wiki/ITK/Debug_Visualizers_for_Visual_Studio) for ITK. But Visual Studio 2012 [changed](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj620914.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396) the format of that file, rendering it unusable. Due to pressing need to debug [some code](https://github.com/InsightSoftwareConsortium/ITKMontage/pull/41) heavily involving `itk::ImageRegion`s I created an updated debug visualizer specification file and submitted a [patch](http://review.source.kitware.com/#/c/23441/). Extensions of this file are very welcome!
