ARM fast models use a 4GL heavily based on C++ called Lisa, and the code is in a lot of ways very similar. Sufficiently so, in fact, that for a lot of cases we could probably get decent support by just pretending it is C++.
However, when I try to edit a .lisa file in Visual Studio, I get no Snippets, no circular paste buffer, no highlighting.

Is there any way to persuade Visual Assist to enable at least basic support in LISA files?

This page explains how to tell VA and the IDE to treat custom file extensions as C++:

but obviously be aware that any deviations from C++ will cause odd side effects.
