items, such as locked submissions/comments or non-replyable messages.
A ``None`` value can be returned if the target is a comment or submission in a
quarantined subreddit and the authenticated user has not opt-ed into viewing the
content. When this happens the comment will be successfully created on Reddit
and can be retried by drawing the comment from the user's comment history.
Example usage:
.. code-block:: python
submission = reddit.submission("5or86n")
submission.reply("reply")
comment = reddit.comment("dxolpyc")
comment.reply("reply")
