Directed-answers is a blueprint of a new Coccinella feature.

Summary

Sometimes, people who are chatting using any instant messaging service write so quickly that they often write a second message before their contact answer the previous one, turning the chat a little confusing.

It'll be a bit useful to have the possibility of specifying what message you are answering to. This way, confussions and misundestandings could be avoided.

Graphic explanation
