+## Debugging with `ocamldebug`
+
+To print values with types defined in `containers` in the bytecode debugger,
+you first have to load the appropriate bytecode archives. After starting a
+session, e.g. `ocamldebug your_program.bc`,
+
+```
+# load_printer containers_monomorphic.cma
+# load_printer containers.cma
+```
+
+For these archives to be found, you may have to `run` the program first. Now
+printing functions that have the appropriate type `Format.formatter -> 'a ->
+unit` can be installed. For example,
+
+```
+# install_printer Containers.Int.pp
+```
+
+However, printer combinators are not easily handled by `ocamldebug`. For
+instance `# install_printer Containers.(List.pp Int.pp)` will *not* work out of
+the box. You can make this work by writing a short module which defines
+ready-made combined printing functions, and loading that in ocamldebug. For
+instance 
+
+```ocaml non-deterministic=command
+module M = struct 
+	let pp_int_list = Containers.(List.pp Int.pp)
+end
+```
+
+loaded via `# load_printer m.cmo` and installed as `# install_printer
+M.pp_int_list`.
