[RFE] Support to update status with >280 characters
The current Twitter limit is 280 character per tweet, but it would be nice if the update_status() can support splitting the status and create a twitter thread (like using [1/2][2/2] or something like that to 'tag' the size of the thread) if the number of characters exceed that limit. Thanks.
You can create that yourself, as well, by splitting the status for each 280 character sequence and looping through all sequences + sending the tweets with the current partial sequence.
I feel like this is might be a good issue for a first time contributor, I'm just wondering, shall I take this up, assuming there is still a use case for this ?

I guess it would be very helpful. I ended up doing it by myself https://github.com/e-minguez/polen/blob/master/polen_lasrozas.py#L135-L155 but I'll be more than happy to switch to a default mechanism instead :)
