comment_template()

 At present, `update_comment_cache()` is called within
 `comments_template()`, on the result of `get_comments()`.

 Unfortunately this means that any plugins which use `get_comments()` and
 then use a function which relies upon a comment object, for example,
 `get_comment_author_link( $comment_id )` it'll have a cache-miss and query
 the DB for data that we could've primed ourselves.
