Open Edit->Preferences, go to Other->C/C++, then check "Parse system
tags" and "Parse local variables".

This code has a few problems which is why it isn't enabled by default.

Sadly we don't yet have a resolver for locals, so it can't complete
instance members. Eventually we'd like to move to a full C++ parser
for code completion, but this relies on someone contributing one ;-)
