Comment (by meitar):

 Replying to [comment:1 knutsp]:
 > It's not `login`. It's the commenter's name. For a logged in commenter
 it's the display name, AFAIK.

 I don't think that's correct. A simple
 `var_dump($comment->comment_author)` (where `$comment` is a `WP_Comment`
 object) returns the user's ''login'' name, not the user's display name,
 even when one is set.
