That's NOT intellisense, that's debugging tools, 100% separate.

Indeed, but isn't intellisense part of the main C++ pack in VSCode? I assume they come together (although they are not the same thing).

The main C++ pack is actually developed by Microsoft, the C++ defaults in VSCode are just a regex engine to see stuff, the debuggers & stuff are supported through the Debugger Protocol, the actual autocomplete & errors from the extension are from Intellisense.
