Hi,
Yes it does. It even shows alternatives when I type boos::asio:: or
similar prefixes. However some alternatives that should be there
aren't. For one, the ip namespace under boost::asio. I even tried to
include directly boost/asio/ip/udp.hpp to no avail.

There are other alternatives missing, such as boost::asio::streambuf
(but it sees boost::asio::basic_streambuf so that I can write
asio::boost::basic_streambuf<> and make it happy at the cost of having
longer typedef).

It seems like Intellisense is unable to make sense of some boost
header files, not enough intelli? :-)
