Thanks for the feedback on this one. Sorry for the lag, been focused on
other projects for the last week or so.

The reason I propose doing it this way is that there is a convention on
twitter that if you want a reply to go to all of your followers you
prefix it with ".", so "@evan thanks for the feedback" would only go to
you (and any one else who follows both of us), while "....@evan thanks for
the feedback" would go to all of my followers. Doing it this way
preserves this functionality.

That's ok, I'd would have liked to have got it into a dot release, but
understand.

I was thinking about doing it in core, would you prefer it to be a
plugin? I think it is functionality a lot of people would (may?) like
to see in statusnet and identi.ca
