 * I’m hoping there is a filter which is called when comments are disabled. i.e.
   something similar to “comment_form” that is fired at the same point in the page
   generation, so that a plugin can add an explanation of why there is no comment
   form.
 * wp_footer is too late because the sidebar is generated between the comments and
   the footer… there must be something handy that I’ve missed…
 * Looking at the comments.php script I’ve manually added:
    do_action(‘comment_end’,
   $post->ID);
 * …which does the trick, but am I missing an official hook?

 * There’s a `comment_closed` hook in the API (like `comment_form` it receives a
   post’s ID as a parameter). Sound like what you’re looking for?
