 I actually intended to request some better support for custom comment
 types but thinking about what I would actually like to get summed it up as
 "same as register_post_type", and then I realized that comments are just
 another type of content with the main difference is that it might be
 submitted by unauthorized users.

 Given the sorry state of the ability to easily create new comment types, I
 think that going all the way to have it as post types is not that much
 harder.
 Sure there is the challenge of different tables, but having support for
 different tables per post type can make sense by itself for post types
 which are used to store information for the admin and can have many
 entries that are unrelated to frontend content, like sell transaction.
