How to handle sentences like "I think she's mad"? #26

The object of the sentence is essentially another statement. Surely there is some way to handle this complexity? i.e. it should stand in as direct object and the resemblance should cascade.

Other examples:

sentences with "that", e.g. "She says that they should go"
sentences with "whether", e.g. "I don't care whether or not they come"

Currently (as of 638f9b974fedb883177fbfe64ec2f097ad3ca676) statements are correctly separated, but not linked. Linking would probably require a fake proxy DirectObject with a link to the Statement.
