+    #
+    #   1. The person who wrote the tweet you are replying to is added.
+    #      This is the only time when your own name can show up in an
+    #      at-reply string.
+    #   2. Next, Twitter goes through the Tweet front to back, adding
+    #      mentioned usernames that have not already been added to the
+    #      string.
+    #
+    # In degenerate cases, the at-reply string might be longer than
+    # the max Tweet size; Twitter doesn't care.

+    # XXX A horrifying violation of encapsulation
+    # NB: names array includes @-signs.
