/**

 *   Optional, if given, only one comment is rendered.
 *
 * To display threaded comments in the correct order we keep a 'thread' field
 * and order by that value. This field keeps this data in
 * a way which is easy to update and convenient to use.
 *
 * A "thread" value starts at "1". If we add a child (A) to this comment,
 * we assign it a "thread" = "1.1". A child of (A) will have "1.1.1". Next
 * brother of (A) will get "1.2". Next brother of the parent of (A) will get
 * "2" and so on.
 *
 * First of all note that the thread field stores the depth of the comment:
 * depth 0 will be "X", depth 1 "X.X", depth 2 "X.X.X", etc.
 *
 * Now to get the ordering right, consider this example:
 *
 * 1
 * 1.1
 * 1.1.1
 * 1.2
 * 2
 *
 * If we "ORDER BY thread ASC" we get the above result, and this is the
 * natural order sorted by time. However, if we "ORDER BY thread DESC"
 * we get:
 *
 * 2
 * 1.2
 * 1.1.1
 * 1.1
 * 1
 *
 * Clearly, this is not a natural way to see a thread, and users will get
 * confused. The natural order to show a thread by time desc would be:
 *
 * 2
 * 1
 * 1.2
 * 1.1
 * 1.1.1
 *
 * which is what we already did before the standard pager patch. To achieve
 * this we simply add a "/" at the end of each "thread" value. This way, the
 * thread fields will look like this:
 *
 * 1/
 * 1.1/
 * 1.1.1/
 * 1.2/
 * 2/
 *
 * we add "/" since this char is, in ASCII, higher than every number, so if
 * now we "ORDER BY thread DESC" we get the correct order. However this would
 * spoil the reverse ordering, "ORDER BY thread ASC" -- here, we do not need
 * to consider the trailing "/" so we use a substring only.
