Comment (by nacin):

 Replying to [comment:2 nofearinc]:
 > I think that a function would be more elegant, but if we need it for a
 "custom" ID (randomly passed) then `get_comment()` would return `null` and
 calling a property of a null would result to a notice?

 But if you're trying to fetch the post ID of a comment that doesn't exist,
 surely you ''should'' get a notice?

 From another angle: What should be the return value of
 get_comment_post_ID() when the comment doesn't exist?

 I'm just not sure we need to add wrapper functions for every property of a
 post/comment/etc object. Now, in this case, it could qualify as a template
 tag — but is it one we honestly need?
