So, Visual Studio, a sophisticated IDE for developing computer software, 
has its own entirely separate IDE for developing IDE macros, WHICH ARE 
ALSO COMPUTER SOFTWARE?

Anyway, I'm not sure you can use this to customise the behaviour of the 
IDE. Looks like it's only useful for automating tasks that the IDE 
itself can already perform...
