Possible use cases:
* Matching comments between PHP and Parsoid HTML [implemented here]
* Finding the same comment in a different revision of a page
(e.g. while resolving an edit conflict, or to allow resuming
composition of autosaved comments) [implemented for highlighting
user's own posted comment only]
* Permanent links to comments [future]
The reasoning for this form of ID is:
* _Timestamp_ by itself is a nearly unique identifier, so it's a good
thing to start with
* Users may post multiple comments in one edit (or in many edits in
one minute), so we need the _sequential number_ to distinguish them
* _Username_ is probably not required, but it may reduce the need
for sequential numbers, and will help with human-readability if we
add permanent links
The ID remains stable when a new comment is added anywhere by anyone
(excepts comments within the same minute by the same user), or when a
section is renamed.
It's not always stable when a comment is moved or when an entire
section is moved or deleted (archived), but you can't have everything.

Otherwise the rest of the page may shift if hiding the link changes
line-wrapping. It felt super confusing when it happened to me while
I was testing an unrelated thing.

We removed it in c40c112514 when we added
a more practical use for the parser, but I keep wishing I had it to
experiment with the parser code.
Now it's off by default and can be used by adding &dtdebug=1 to the URL.

Add the Moment Timezone library. Add a script for managing libraries,
like in MediaWiki core.

For example, the default date format for Japanese (ja) is
"Y年n月j日 (D) H:i", which contains parentheses.
