Description
Hi, the node-red-node-twitter is not supporting retweets, since it uses /statuses/update.json, and the retweet is done by statuses/retweet/:id.
I want to create a PR to add this support. I think since it is a different interface- it needs only the tweet id to retweet it, I will create a new node for it.
Or maybe the preferred way is to implement it inside the Twitter Out node?
WDYT?
I asked in the forum, but no answers there.

Research direction
Start in social/twitter/27-twitter.js around the use of /statuses/update.json, then compare it with the statuses/retweet/:id endpoint linked in the issue. Clarify whether retweeting belongs in a new node or the Twitter Out node; done means node-red-node-twitter supports retweets using the tweet ID.
