io.pnut.core.broadcast-thread channel raw item for net.patter-app.broadcast's Global post

[33mhz]

A channel could add a raw item like io.pnut.core.broadcast-thread as simple as this:

{
  "type": "io.pnut.core.broadcast-thread",
  "value": {
    "thread_id": "2858"
  }
}

If a client notices this on a channel, whenever it creates a net.patter-app.broadcast, it would create the Global post as a reply_to this thread_id. Then on Global, the broadcasts would be naturally tied together in that channel's thread.

It's a bit of work, as a channel wouldn't inherently have a global post to associate with it... So it might have to be handled manually.

But Patter (and any other client that can create io.pnut.core.chat rooms), for example, could add an optional "Broadcast this" option when creating a public channel, which would automatically create an initial broadcast from the channel, announcing its creation and tying the channel to the new post. This seems like a very nice feature regardless of the new Broadcast functionality.
