 (I don't think we have a tracking ticket for this already.)

 We should add support for threading comments, particularly in "flat" mode.
 Flat mode would allow threading in frontend code relatively easily.

 The only issue with this is that it will overflow `per_page`. We
 intentionally treat this as an indicator and occasionally have less items
 already (if they're filtered inside the `get_items()` loop, e.g.), so I
 don't think this is a huge issue. In addition, threaded mode should be
 opt-in in any case.
