but
Visual Studio "supports" (as in allows) developing in Object Pascal.

"Supports" does NOT mean "allow" in this context. That silly claim is DOA,
marc.

By your logic, the Delphi IDE supports every language under the sun, since it
*allows* any language to be opened up as a text file. For example, what's to
prevent me from opening up a java language file in the Delphi IDE? Nothing, it
is allowed. But nobody in their right mind would say that Delphi supports Java.
