title: Are things like "afx_msg" decorators still used by VS/MFC?
body: <p>I'm working on an MFC program that started way back in the VC6 days. Back then there was a class wizard that used a bunch of decorators and markup in comments to parse class files.</p>
  
  <p>For example, it would insert afx_msg in front of message handlers that it maintained. It would mark a block of code with <b>//{{AFX_MSG_MAP(TheApp)</b> and <b>/}}AFX_MSG_MAP</b> comments to help it find the parts of the message map it wanted to handle.</p>
  
  <p>AFAIK, this isn't needed anymore. Besides that, there were so many shortcomings with the class wizard that we had to do a lot of manual editing of these managed blocks and we never used it very often anyways.</p>
  
  <p>Are there any other reasons to keep using afx_msg and its ilk? </p>
