Inline replies for JIRA comments

Would it be possible to add in an option to reply directly to a comment already posted in a JIRA issue?

Functionality would mimic that of Crucible code reviews. It would be good to "quote" a previous comment and then add a comment below it (similar to a forum) or inject my comments inside someone else's.

An example of this would be:

--------- Technical lead comment ---------
Development: integration of feeds from google - 2 hours
Development: set up hosted environment - 3 hours
Development: export database structure - 1 hour
Design: wireframe and production of UI - 8 hours
Development: Front end development - 10 hours
--------- Technical lead comment ---------
--------- Inject Sales Manager comment ---------
Expected cost will be $4800
--------- Inject Sales Manager comment ---------

--------- Resume Technical lead comment ---------
Note that XML feed will need to match that of Google's requirements. Please ensure that you are using the latest version of their schema.
