Actually, now that I think of it, since threading is usually a toggle,
we can use ~ and ^ whether threading is enabled or not. If it's enabled,
these characters operate upon the thread; if not, they operate on
previous messages.

But how do you set or track state on a modeless set of command-line tools?  

Add a profile entry to the context file?

If not, I would reserve ^ and ~ to refer to the message's ancestor and
use a different symbol for the relative message number.
