Comment:

 When replying to an unapproved comment in the Dashboard->Comments list-
 table the parent comment is also automatically approved, this is where the
 `edit_comment` check is needed.  I left the original `edit_post`
 capability check and added the (slightly redundant) `edit_comment` check
 only when the comment is being moderated along with the reply.
