It would sure be nice to see how many replies an event has. But I think all of the possible mechanisms currently have problems.

Mechanism 1: Load all the replies and count them. This is too expensive to do for every top-level note.

Mechanism 2: When a note scrolls into view, issue COUNT commands to augment relays and merge HLL data to count the replies. This isn't yet widely available on relays.

So this issue is blocked.
