just as an afterthought to highlight that it's not exactly related only to
Horde_Category... one thing that i'd definately find useful is for example
setting certain mailboxes in imp to be always sorted by thread, then have that
mailbox fed through a Tree class to get an expandable DOM version of the mailbox
view. this means you can have mailing list type mailboxes that have a lot of
traffic and you could follow easier the thread activity which is of interest by
having it displayed in a more compact form, yet have all the info available
instantly.
Troll too come to think of it, relies on a dom tree which is not related to
Horde_Category, which could be handled by a central horde tree class, no?
