 * I am working on simple plugin that changes behavior of “Hold a comment in the
   queue if it contains X or more links” feature.
 * It seems that comment_text filter is applied on comment content before check 
   which breaks link count in some cases:
 * 1. Smileys are codified and link to image is counted as link.
    2. Plain text 
   links are codified and counted twice – as link code and anchor text.
 * Is this intended or bug?
    Can this check be skipped (doesn’t look like it in 
   the code)? Is it safe to perform alternative check on comment content without
   applying comment_text filter?
