Feature request: hiding (instead of editing/deleting) existing comment

[MPV]

Describe the Feature

Being able to hide comments matching a regex, as an alternative to delete-comment-regex (or edit-comment-regex added in #26).

Expected Behavior

Hiding existing comments, for example by using a hide-comment-regex.

Use Case

Sometimes keeping old comments might make sense for historical/compliance reasons.

Describe Ideal Solution

Not sure, open for thoughts.

Alternatives Considered

1. delete-comment-regex
2. edit-comment-regex (added in #26)

But they don't keep the history in an equally accessible way.

Additional Context

...

[nitrocode]

Hiding comments would be nice.

Although if you want history using edit-comment-regex, couldn't you look at the edit history of the comment?

Edit: see my edit history of this comment
