No IntelliSense in SSMS 2008 for Table Valued Function

Question

I'm building a Table Valued Function in SSMS, and I'm expecting IntelliSense to help me select columns, but it doesn't. Consider this:

CREATE FUNCTION dbo.My_TVF
(   
)
RETURNS TABLE
AS
RETURN
(
    SELECT [PO].I -- Here I is my cursor, ctrl+space does nothing
    FROM dbo.SomePurchaseOrderView PO
    JOIN dbo.SomePurchaseOrderLineView POL ON PO.PO_NUM = POL.PO_NUM
    WHERE  PO.PO_NUM IN (
        SELECT TOP 500 PO_NUM 
        FROM dbo.SomeTable 
        WHERE PROCESSED = 0
    )
)
GO

I want it to suggest column names for the select clause.

Notes:

• The cache is fresh (CTRL + SHIFT + R)
• IntelliSense works fine in general, this is the only situation I've encountered where it doesn't.
• I'm querying a view instead of a table, if it matters.

I know it often fails when there is some kind of syntax error in what you are writing, but I can execute my query just fine when I specify a column.

On msdn it says: "IntelliSense is available for the SELECT statement when it is coded by itself, but not when the SELECT is contained in a CREATE FUNCTION statement."
Although, when testing it in my SSMS 2012, it does seem to work...
