# This implements the "diagnose-nsstring" command, usually installed in the debug session like
#   command script import lldb.diagnose
# it is used when NSString summary formatter fails to replicate the logic that went into LLDB making the
# decisions it did and  providing some useful context information that can be used for improving the formatter
