Duplicate Question Threads: Ability to comment on question and answers

I think Question Threads will work a lot better if it's possible to comment on the questions and on the answers. Typically, a comment will be a request to clarify some certain aspect of the question or the answer. This way you can avoid members having to post "answers" which are essentially requests for clarification.

These comments should obviously be given a different styling to indicate they are comments, and as such less important that the questions and the answers themselves.

This feature is crucial on the StackExchange family of Q&A sites.

Apologies if this has been suggested already - I searched, but couldn't find anything.

StackOverflow put comments to answers and questions in a "single indentation".
And I think that @karll is asking that and not a full nested support like in the linked one.

That's what the original suggestion proposes. It even uses StackOverflow as an example.
