-    wxS is macro which can be used with character and string literals (in other words,

-    in @c wchar_t-based (UTF-16) builds or keep them unchanged in @c char-based
+    Compatibility macro which expands to wxT() in wxWidgets 2 only.
+
+    This macro can be used in code which needs to compile with both
+    wxWidgets 2 and 3 versions, in places where the wx2 API requires a Unicode string
+    (in Unicode build) but the wx3 API only accepts a standard narrow
+    string, as in e.g. wxCmdLineEntryDesc structure objects initializers.
+
+    Example of use:
+    @code
+    const wxCmdLineEntryDesc cmdLineDesc[] =

+        { wxCMD_LINE_SWITCH, wxT_2("q"), wxT_2("quiet"),

+        wxCMD_LINE_DESC_END
+    };

+
+    Without @c wxT_2 the code above wouldn't compile with wxWidgets 2, but using @c
+    wxT instead, it wouldn't compile with wxWidgets 3.
