 Currently the `comment-template.php` file uses an asterisk (*) as the
 default glyph for required fields used in the `comment_form()` function.
 This glyph is not easily manipulated without having to essentially over-
 write the entire `comment_form()` function.

 I suggest the glyph be filtered. Therefore if one wants to change it, for
 example, to a hash (#) symbol then they can simply filter the output; or,
 if for any other reason one might want to enhance the glyph visibility or
 utility the filter would then allow for this while minimizing the impact
 on the default comment form.
