Comment:

 As I was working with Mel on the Make/Core post, I noticed that the hook
 ended up with a dynamic name: `get_{$post_type}_default_comment_status`.
 Dynamic hooks are neat, but not always easy to find, and there's usually a
 case to be made for the generic non-dynamic version. I think it'd be
 better to go with `get_default_comment_status` and pass the post type as
 context.

 Also, do we need to do a general audit of `get_option(
 'default_comment_status' )` uses?
