maybe we should add it!
Looks like markjaquith proposed this back in 2006 but it never really
gained traction: http://comox.textdrive.com/pipermail/wp-

> Much better than adding hacky options.
Well the way I'm thinking of doing it would be "temporary" in that the
hacks would only exist during the import, and technically the columns that
I'd be using aren't available from imported LJ data, so there's "no"
downside (that I can see?), assuming the importer cleans up after itself
properly.
> Cooking up a set of comment_meta functions wouldn't take long.
Would be largely copy-paste from post-meta stuff I assume, but I wonder if
there's enough call for comment meta to warrant it going into core?
