Allow users to see that the writer of a comment they replied to upvoted their comment (if user foo writes a comment, user bar replies, and foo upvotes bars reply, bar (¿or all users?) should be able to see that.

That is a less noisy way to say ‘thanks’ that I think would get used more, and would inform users that they aren’t replying to a vacuum.

Gets too close to notifications.

They're generally looking for things that cause slightly lower entropy in the comment speed, I think, but this is an interesting exception.
