  To find additional discussion and examples for a macro, see the table
  above, using the category specified in the macro description below.
 
  AND_CATCH             Designates a block of code for catching the
                          second or subsequent exception from the
                          preceding TRY block.
 
                          For additional linformation, see the
                          Exceptions category in the table.
 
  ASSERT                Prints a message and aborts the application if
                          the specified expression evaluates to FALSE in

  ASSERT_VALID          Tests the internal validity of an object by
                          calling its AssertValid member function,

  END_CATCH             Ends the last CATCH or AND_CATCH block in an
                          exception frame.
 
                          For additional information, see the

                          Exceptions category in the table.
 
  RUNTIME_CLASS         Returns a CRuntimeClass object from which you
                          can extract run-time information about a
                          specified class.
 
                          For additional information, see the

  TRY                   Designates a block of code for exception
                          processing.
