 To create comments with the WP REST API, we would like to use
 `wp_new_comment()`.  This would allow us to take advantage of the filters,
 actions, and notifications already baked into `wp_new_comment()`.

 'wp_new_comment()' does not allow the passing of 'comment_author_IP' and
 only sets the value from `$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]`.

 For API use the `REMOTE_ADDR` attribute would not be reliable or
 populated, and will trigger a PHP Notice of Undefined Index.
