[boost] Recover MSVC auto-complete with smart pointers?

Hello,

I am using the boost smart pointer library with MSVC++ 6.0.  (The boost
libraries are great!)  I am using primarily the shared_ptr<> class.
When I access the interface of the pointer that is "wrapped" in the
smart pointer, via the shared_ptr<> overloaded indirection operator
(->), MSVC's auto-complete feature does not pop-up the interface of the
"wrapped" pointer.  I'm guessing MSVC doesn't expand through the
templated shared_ptr<> to resolve the "wrapped" pointer's class.

Has anyone come up with a "trick" to restore MSVC's auto-complete in
this situation?

Thanks.
