Yes, they are still used.
There is already a bug about "confusing labels" on
the C/C++ preference page, see
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=176468

I agree.

The preview sample completely misses an initializer list. Thanks
for pointing that out.
The constructor initializer list is not effected, because its
initializer list is not enclosed in braces.

Right.

Hm, I don't quite get that. If there is more spacing, you will
see less in the preview. How would that help in finding
"the parts which are to be set"?
Anyway, I am open for suggestions.

Thanks for the feedback.
