Threading UI

Currently in beta, Matrix has a new threads feature. Just thought to get the ball rolling on the design discussion.

How about opening each thread in its own Room buffer?

Perhaps with a window autolayout (similarly to Gnus Summary/Article) that, in the current frame, displays the parent of the thread in a small window at the top and the thread in a large window underneath?

I think it would be good to offer that ability, but threads still need to be displayed in their room's buffer as well.

That sounds complicated to implement. :) Maybe for a later implementation, if necessary, but AFAIK threads are intended to be lightweight, not as deep as traditional mailing lists or newsgroups.
