In Wing Pro the snippets tool is used for this, and snippets in the 
auto-completer are suffixed with "(snippet)". There is a default set of 
snippets but you can alter them to match your coding conventions.  There 
are docs here:  https://wingware.com/doc/edit/snippets

Note that this feature is not present in Wing Personal or 101.
