 In the current WP_Query, it is possible to order results by comment_count
 ASC/DESC.
 But is it not possible to query the table based on this CPT/posts table
 column. Therefor it is impossible to (for example) query posts without any
 comment or posts having over 10 comments.

 I propose a diff to use WP_Query in the following way (building on the
 syntax from meta_query and tax_query)

 a) Easy call:
 $args['comment_count'] = n; n >= 0

 b) Extended call:
 $args['comments']['count'] = n; n >= 0

 Optional in this call:
 $args['comments']['compare'] = Compare; Compare: =, !=, >, >=, <, <=


 I will extend this ticket with a patch diff file (trunk) along with a
 testset (has-patch).
