I thought he would expect the command in single comment(which is reviewComment) could be interpreted too. I don't know whether we need it or not.

But otoh, if the overhead is not an issue, I think having a consistent UX is a good thing. If someone were to be adding a PR command in a comment, they will be surprised if it doesn't work.

Due to Erik's concern, I think it would be better to temporarily disregard commands within ReviewComments. If a use case for this feature is identified in the future, we can revisit the topic.
