[Request]: Separate Quote Button

Describe the request

Noticed that sometimes I want to quote a post that I already boosted. Currently, an option to quote a post is only available when the boost button is clicked. This creates an issue, when quoting a post requires first unboosting it. One possible sollution is to make boost button always show a little window with option to actually unboost or make a quote. While it helps to keep UI clean, it complicates user experience and requires the user to make two clicks to do a common action. Second solution is to add a separate button for quoting. This adds a bit to the UI, but helps to keep two common actions at one-click reach. More importantly, allows quoting without the need of unboosting. I remember that HIG is quiet strict on UI clearness, but I think this is where convenience and feature availability greatly outweighs the clutterness of one more button per post. After all:

Try to minimize the number of steps required to perform a task.

... is one of the HIG's design principles.
