 Replying to [comment:7 rachelbaker]:
 > We don't really have a `comment_status` column in the database.  We *DO*
 have `comment_approved` which can have a value of: `1`, `0`, `spam` or
 `trash` (check out those amazing mixed types!).

 > I want to understand the different use-cases for custom comment
 statuses. That would make it easier to know if we should solve this by
 adding a filter or two OR we need to add registration functions and handle
 more like custom `post_status`.

 Hi Rachel, would it be possible to add a "Read" function to the comment
 statuses? There are plenty of times where the comment is just a message
 which doesn't need to be approved and placed on the blog post. I will
 typically respond to it but leave it marked as Unapproved because it's not
 spam and I don't want to delete it. But I'd like to keep it but mark it
 "Read" so my number of Unapproved Comments can then go back to zero. Or
 even a way to move a comment to Feedback.
