This fills me with joy and happiness.  :-)

But, seriously, I understand that it might be impossible to implement
the in_reply_to_status_id for SMS (guessing would still be appropriate
there, considering the limitations).  But, it also appears that the
web interface is not providing in_reply_to_status_id when you reply by
clicking the swoosh.  Was this an oversight, or is development still
in the works?
