Comment (by jnylen0):

 I don't think that can be done easily, since `wp_update_comment` calls
 `wp_filter_comment` and `apply_filters( 'comment_save_pre' )`.  We'd have
 to duplicate all of this logic.

 If a plugin fires `edit_comment` before this code is triggered, this will
 work fine, because we're tracking the number of ''additional'' times it
 was called during `wp_update_comment`.

 If a plugin manages to fire `edit_comment` during `wp_update_comment`
 ''without updating the comment'', then that is an absurd thing to do, and
 we shouldn't expect it to work anyway.
