Determines whether to defer comment counting.

Description

When setting $defer to true, all post comment counts will not be updated until $defer is set to false. When $defer is set to false, then all previously deferred updated post comment counts will then be automatically updated without having to call wp_update_comment_count() after.

		// Flush any deferred counts.
		if ( ! $defer ) {
			wp_update_comment_count( null, true );
		}
	}

}
