Apologies if this has been discussed previously but I couldn’t find any reference to it..

Anyway I was looking at NodeBB and noticed that they have multiple buffers in tabs for replying and posting. Is this on the roadmap for Discourse or has it been previously discussed and discarded?  
I think it is good that you can continue to browse discussions whilst typing a reply, but in the event that a user is typing a long and detail reply to one topic, whilst browsing around they may stumble or be notified of another topic that they want to type a short reply to. However currently in Discourse you would need to either hurry up and finish your post or copy and paste your long, under construction reply to a temporary buffer like Notepad. Although the latter is a trivial matter, it would still be more fluid to have separate tabs for each reply/post.  
Combined with Discourse’s syncing of replies to user accounts this would be a great benefit..
