Variables view with pretty printers enabled (top) and disabled (bottom)

I have some Rust code I was was debugging, and there are parent variables whose value can be provided by a pretty-printer. The child variables though, their value is not displayed because of a "NA (child of pretty printed object)" message, in the Variables view (top-right side of attached pic). 

This restriction is arbitrary and needless, since their value can be retrieve normally. This can be shown by either querying GDB directly (seen in top-left side of attached pic), or running the debug session with pretty printers disabled (bottom half of attached pic).
