    Attributes:
        name: A unique string among all printers for the context in which
            it is defined (objfile, progspace, or global(gdb)), and should
            meaningfully describe what can be pretty-printed.
            E.g., "StringPiece" or "protobufs".
        subprinters: An iterable object with each element having a `name'
            attribute, and, potentially, "enabled" attribute.
            Or this is None if there are no subprinters.
        enabled: A boolean indicating if the printer is enabled.

    Subprinters are for situations where "one" pretty-printer is actually a
    collection of several printers.  E.g., The libstdc++ pretty-printer has
    a pretty-printer for each of several different types, based on regexps.
