 @birgire - thank you - that tests nicely! The only downside I see is that
 core actions/filters associated with wp_update_comment won't fire, but in
 this particular case I don't think that will be a problem.  @azaozz - do
 you concur?

 @birgire - Ideally, message would include an array of messages like
 "Comment 1432 contained personal data but could not be anonymized" -
 again, I think that is unlikely if not impossible (which is why my own
 patch returned 0 and an empty array) - which I think would be ok if yours
 did that as well.

 If you do want to have num_item_retained non-zero, then we should also
 have a message for each failure - that way the admin can make informed
 decisions about what they want to do next.
