This is planned in a future update, as part of Markdown support.

The forum software will already detect overquoting, and offer to 
trim down quoted text automatically.

Sometimes, more than one level of context is required, when the 
parent's post provides no context, such as replies like "What do 
you mean?" or "I don't think this is true".

I will keep this suggestion in mind; however, copying text from 
multiple posts for the purpose of replying to several posts at 
once goes against the threaded nature of the underlying medium 
(newsgroup/email messages), and the forum will warn against this 
if it detects such an attempt.

Thanks for the feedback.
