[wp-hackers] Comment form plugin hook request

[Owen Winkler]

I want to drop content inside the comment form.  This could be used to 
insert additional hidden fields, captcha-style devices, notices of 
comment policy based on active plugins, etc.  It would be very helpful 
for writing plugins that deal with comment spam issues so that users 
need not modify their own files.

I've been hesitant to request this since it's technically a file that 
can be replaced using templating, so the hook isn't necessarily "permanent".

Any thoughts?

Also, I've made a small change to a query in my 
template-functions-comment.php that makes comments appear to have been 
accepted to the user who submitted it (based on IP), even if they've 
gone to moderation.  This obviates a "your comment was moderated" 
message.  Useful?  Want patch?
