PowerPath/VE support with Microsoft Clustering on VMware

Just having a look through the vSphere 5.0 MSCS guide (linked below) and found the following statement.

http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-50-mscs-guide.pdf

"With native multipathing (NMP), clustering is not supported when the path policy is set to round robin. Third-party multipathing plug-ins might support round robin or other load balancing behavior with Microsoft clusters. Support of third-party multipathing plug-ins is provided by the plug-in vendor"

Anyone know if PowerPath/VE is supported in this type of configuration?

    Thanks Itzik,  assumed it was but Is this documented anywhere,  I have a feeling customers will want to see it in writing.
