Comment:

 We don't really have a `comment_status` column in the database.  We *DO*
 have `comment_approved` which have a value of: `1`, `0`, `spam` or `trash`
 (check out those amazing mixed types!).

 I want to understand the different use-cases for custom comment statuses.
 That would make it easier to know if we should solve this by adding a
 filter or two OR we need to add registration functions and handle more
 like custom `post_status`.
