Description

It would be nice if users had the option to automatically locally store the contents of comments at the time the user replies to the comment.

This would allow the user to compare the comment at the time of reply to the current state of the comment after the OP has made edits.

The functionality of this feature could be expanded to also locally store additional versions of the comment after edits have been made, upon the user loading the comment again.

Research direction
Investigate the current comment storage mechanism in RES, likely using localStorage. Examine the comment module to understand how comments are loaded and rendered. Check for any existing methods to store reply context. Consider adding a new option to save the comment version at reply time, and a UI to compare with current state. Look at linked issues or PRs for prior discussion.
