Comment:

 While the IRC discussion seems to imply that fulfilling this ticket should
 implement function that goes and turns off comments for each post, I
 thought that perhaps, instead, a new options flag may be cleaner. I tend
 to prefer to provide options that are not irrevocable. Switching all
 comments off, one post at a time, is hard to undo.

 The attached patch sets up a new option in the options table similar to
 'default_comment_status' but would be global.

 The only thing missing from the patch is the line:

 {{{
 INSERT INTO  `wordpress`.`wp_options` (`option_name` , `option_value`)
 VALUES ('global_comment_status',  'open');
 }}}

 I wasn't sure where/how to add that to the patch.
