At he rate things are going, soon we can expect quad-core CPUs in:

Not really a rumor, the code is there. It's speculation now as to why. It may have just been implemented for the purpose of experimenting, as the article suggests. It wouldn't be the first time odd code has turned up places for things that were considered possibilities but never actually saw the light of day.

I think a better question is why it needs special support. It's a IDE/programming environment, it should be the Operating Systems job to 'support' multiple CPUs, not something that needs to be compiled into every program.
