- "allows" not the same as supports.

- I think xcode-select just modifies a .plist.

It changes a symlink at /var/db/xcode_select_link, and all of the development tool stubs that Apple has placed consult this to see which binary to run. This is pretty much the officially supported way to switch between multiple copies of Xcode.
