+This macro can be used around a function declaration to generate warnings
+indicating that this function is deprecated (i.e. obsolete and planned to be
+removed in the future) when it is used. Only Visual C++ 7 and higher and g++
+compilers currently support this functionality.
+
+Example of use:
+\begin{verbatim}
+    // old function, use wxString version instead

+
+This is a special version of \helpref{wxDEPRECATED}{wxdeprecated} macro which
+only does something when the deprecated function is used from the code outside
+wxWidgets itself but doesn't generate warnings when it is used from wxWidgets.
+It is used with the virtual functions which are called by the library itself --
+even if such function is deprecated the library still has to call it to ensure
+that the existing code overriding it continues to work, but the use of this
+macro ensures that a deprecation warning will be generated if this function is
+used from the user code or, in case of Visual C++, even when it is simply
+overridden.
