Does Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) qualify as an assembly
language?

It runs on an emulated processor known as a Common Runtime System (CRS)
which is stack-based virtual CPU. Is this 'real' assembly language?

Does ILASM qualify as an assembler? Is it a 'real' assembler?
Does ILDASM qualify as a dis-assembler?
