unsupported

 The REST API currently prohibits updating a comment unless the content is
 specified along with the update.  Originally introduced
 [https://github.com/WP-API/WP-
 API/commit/6282db4cb06e7e825d7767b837d008f9cd33a012 here] (and then
 shuffled around a bit afterwards).

 This doesn't make sense with the rest of the API: it's possible (and
 common) to update only a couple of attributes at a time for a post.

 Example use cases:

 - Fixing a typo in the author name
 - Resetting the parent of a comment if it was placed incorrectly on a p2
