// @description    Fixes Retweet Avatars to show your friends w/ an inset for the original tweeter

//
// This script modifies how avatars are displayed for Twitter's new Retweet
// functionality into something that I think makes more sense: the retweeter's
// avatar (whom you are following) is restored to the primary view, and an inset
// is added for the retweet source.
//
// - @lhl
//
// Thanks Taylor (@gtmcknight) for the Twivatar pointer!
//
// TODO:
// * BUG: after RT, "timeline-changed" event doesn't get triggered.  maybe need
//        another bind then...
// * RFE: allow swapping of inset avatar
//
