I wouldn't mind if one could submit multiple in_reply_to_status_ids, like with commas or something, so that instead of having @user1 @user2 @user3, the system knows (if you set an i_r_t_s_i, you don't even need the @user, it will show up in their replies box). This way it doesn't look spammy and provides the maximum amount of characters.
