It doesn't give you suggestion for includes. But actually I'm wondering it's 
not feasible to let it do that. At that point clang is already aware of all 
include paths involved, so it could as well give you suggestions based on the 
files contained in the include paths. (But keep in mind this can be expensive, 
since you'll have to list the files in each include path).

Maybe some of the more experienced Clang developers can comment on that?

For what it's worth: We implemented our own solution for doing this in 
KDevelop. See [1] for some inspiration.
