 Basically the title says it all. What I'd like to see in WordPress is an
 implementation of the WP_Meta_Query that was intorduced in 3.2 for the
 comments query as well as ordering by meta values.

 Basically if those features are implemented, developers will have greater
 flexibility about comments - the first things that come to mind are rating
 system(I know there should be a plugin out there for that already),
 separating comments by some parameter(let's say age/sex/country/etc, if
 there is some kind of sociological study) and many more.

 I stumbled upon this quite recently when I was making an extension for
 qTranslata and I had to get comments by specific meta value - I had to
 either write custom MySQL(at which I'm not really good), or implement the
 meta query.

 I'm attaching the diff file that I made(I've tested that with 3.4) for wp-
 includes/comments.php
