(I feel like I mentioned this somewhere, but I can't find where)
Currently, all language categories are always [enabled by default](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/775ad3e49c83407b79dd5ad533204884cb8b23ce/lldb/source/DataFormatters/LanguageCategory.cpp#L30) and the language categories are created on demand (in [`FormatManager::GetCategoryForLanguage`](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/775ad3e49c83407b79dd5ad533204884cb8b23ce/lldb/source/DataFormatters/FormatManager.cpp#L601)). This makes it impossible to disable a language category upfront (e.g. in a `.lldbinit`). The following demonstrates this with the C++ language:
**test.cpp**:
```cpp
namespace std {
template <typename T> struct optional {
T foo;
};
}
int main() {
std::optional<int> test{42};
return 0; // break here
}
```
```console
> clang -g test.cpp
> lldb.exe ./a.exe -o "type category disable cplusplus" -o "b test.cpp:9" -o r -o "p test" -o "type category disable cplusplus" -o "p test"
(lldb) target create "a.exe"
Current executable set to 'F:\Dev\cpp-test\testing\a.exe' (x86_64).
(lldb) type category disable cplusplus
(lldb) b test.cpp:9
Breakpoint 1: where = a.exe`main + 18 at test.cpp:9, address = 0x0000000140007262
(lldb) r
Process 23684 launched: 'F:\Dev\cpp-test\testing\a.exe' (x86_64)
Process 23684 stopped
* thread #1, stop reason = breakpoint 1.1
frame #0: 0x00007ff6b12d7262 a.exe`main at test.cpp:9
6
7 int main() {
8 std::optional<int> test{42};
-> 9 return 0;
10 }
(lldb) p test
(std::optional<int>) Has Value=false {}
(lldb) type category disable cplusplus
(lldb) p test
(std::optional<int>) (foo = 42)
```
**Expected**: Both `p test` should print the same (`(std::optional<int>) (foo = 42)`).
**Current**: The first time, the libstdc++ formatter is used to format the value even though we disabled the category.
