Sorry, John, it feels to me that you're picking a fight where there isn't one. I guess we have to differ as to what support means - I feel I understood clearly what was said, and I don't know anyone who would even consider SEU as a general editor for all languages.

Yes, one might say my interpretation is somewhat insular - I don't agree, for various reasons I won't go into - but so it is!!

Rob's reply is right - you CAN use SEU but will have a devil of a time being
sure that your syntax is correct.
His reply is "right", but it's also needlessly and willfully picky.

If someone's asking whether some programming language feature is
*supported* by an editor, I think it's pretty clear they mean a level
of support greater than what's provided by Notepad.

(Actually, if we're entertaining definitions of "support" which
include "well, yes, we can do it if we really, really want to" then
you might as well say that Notepad has BETTER support for the latest
features, until SEU is properly "configured" (syntax checking turned
off).)
