 Thanks, adding the tag. Just noted a few other instances of `array_map(
 'get_comment', ... )` in core and the tests, and thought this could be a
 more  common pattern than relying on the reference for filling an empty
 variable, so bringing some consistency with `get_posts()` would make
 sense.

 A [https://wpdirectory.net/search/01EHRJHKGVG96FWZT71P9GNEF4 brief search]
 shows that some popular plugins do indeed use `array_map( 'get_comment',
 ... )`.
