 be a11y-friendly?

 Just the `@` character, not the whole name. The character could be added
 manually if the mention is intentional.

 Some would say it's more in line with "traditional" forum software UI, I
 don't have a strong preference here though.

 > Another option, which can be done in conjunction with my previous
 suggestion or by itself, could be to add an explicit "Reply" link. Similar
 to the second proposal in ticket, clicking it would put the display name
 of the commenter into the reply form. (Extra fanciness where highlighted
 text from the comment gets added within a 'blockquote' as well.)

 This seems worth exploring further.
