4104,Declaration prevents Visual Studio 2008 from auto-completing shared_ptr,Edward Loper <edloper@…>,Emil Dotchevski,"A forward declaration for shared_ptr in boost/exception/exception.hpp confuses Visual Studio's Intellisense parser, preventing it from doing auto-completion for any boost::shared_ptr objects.  This can be fixed by replacing ""<class>"" with ""<class T>"" in the forward declaration (as shown in the attached patch file).

Strictly speaking, this is not a bug in Boost, but in Visual Studio; but unless there's a good reason to use ""<class>"" in the forward declaration rather than ""<class T>"", this change would be very helpful to all Visual Studio users if you made this change.
