Comment:

 Thanks for the patch, sambauers.

 Adding these table joins into `WP_Comment_Query` is pretty unappealing. In
 `WP_Query`, all (or at least most) of the category query logic has been
 moved to `WP_Tax_Query`. So, if we were going to add something like this,
 we'd want to do it with `WP_Tax_Query` instead of by building the SQL like
 this. I guess the relevant argument for `WP_Comment_Query` would then be
 something like 'post_tax_query', since we would want to leave the door
 open for putting taxonomy on comments at some point in the future.
