 either (a) have an Advanced link as previously discussed, or (b) make it
 so plugins can add it back if they want it due to other features they add?

 That's an interesting idea. I would suggest having an Advanced link AND
 allow plugins to add an Edit link to the comment row. Plugins can already
 modify the action links using the comment_row_action filter. But, instead
 of forcing them to rebuild the URL, I'm thinking we should then create a
 way for plugins to easily do so.

 First route: {{{ if ( ! apply_filters( 'comment_row_action_edit', false )
 ) unset( $action['edit'] ); }}}

 Second route: Default filter on comment_row_action to remove
 $action['edit'], which could then be removed by a plugin. This seems to
 make more sense but would probably confuse a plugin developer looking at
 _wp_comment_row() and not realizing there is a default filter at work.

 Also, there should be a way to moderate / change the status of a comment
 from Quick Edit. Currently, when you click Quick Edit, you lose the action
 links. (This is true and is a UI issue now, but when you make Quick Edit
 primary, it comes more into focus.)

 > After all, most things which are added to the Edit page could equally
 well be added to Quick Edit.

 Actually... looking through comment.php, I don't see a single hook, which
 given the new comment meta in 2.9 is pretty important. Am I just missing
 something?
