Comment (by chriscct7):

 Its highly unlikely someone would be using both one of those and not_in.
 What we could do to get around this is if the parameter
 `comment_author__in` isset, then we use that parameter and ignore the
 email and the id one. If its not then we use what we already have. This
 would let a person using Comments Query to write a query where if its on
 WordPress 4.1, it would use the more powerful single param, else if its on
 the old version fallback (complete backwards compatibility) to the old
 params.
