 If you move a comment to the trash, and that comment has sub-comments,
 none of those comments are visible (which is desired) but
 post->comment_count is reduced by 1 rather than by the total number of
 comments that have now been hidden.

 For example: post has 1 comment with 3 replies. Comment count is 4. Delete
 the first comment. Now no comments are visible but comment count is 3.

 The first comment has comment_approved set to 'trash' but the other 3
 comments are still '1'. Perhaps the right fix is that when trashing a
 comment, all of its sub-comments are also trashed explicitly rather than
 implicitly.
