Features
Comments/Favorites graph
At the top of any page which has more than one comment, a graph should appear showing how many comments have been
made with a minimum threshold of favorites. Clicking on any bar on the graph will filter the display of comments that
have at least that many favorites.
Show: All / X and above / More options
Three additional links will appear next to each comment's favorite count allowing you to filter comments in-place,
with the "More options" link providing a convenience link to return to the top of the post and view the graph.
Special Thanks
Special thanks to Jordan Reiter and Jimmy Woods for their previous work on MetaFilter favorite user scripts,
on which this work is heavily based.
