I got no idea what that is, but, why not?  I'm assuming that it is some 
procedure, and such can be implemented in almost any language.  Doesn't 
mean there is not a lot of code behind the capability, just that the 
user doesn't have to write that code.  A bit like what everyone seems to 
like about things such as Python.
