How to resolve clashing definitions of comment in comment.sty and changes.sty without affecting either's interface?

I'm writing a package that uses both changes (v3.1.2) and comment (v3.8), and I'd like to expose their functionality to consumers of my package without having to modify either one's interface.



The problem is that both changes.sty and comment.sty define comment. Hence



documentclass{article}
usepackage{comment}
usepackage{changes}
begin{document}end{document}


throws the error




Command comment already defined.




I understand this can be fixed using savesym by (essentially) modifying changes.sty's interface, e.g.



documentclass{article}
usepackage{savesym}

usepackage{changes}
savesymbol{comment} % rename comment -> origcomment
usepackage{comment}

begin{document}
origcomment{pdf comment using 'changes.sty'}
begin{comment}
code comment using 'comment.sty'
end{comment}
end{document}


Alternatively, comment.sty provides excludecomment for defining custom comment environments, e.g.



documentclass{article}
usepackage{savesym}

usepackage{comment}
savesymbol{comment}
excludecomment{mycomment}
usepackage{changes}

begin{document}
comment{pdf comment using 'changes.sty'}
begin{mycomment}
code comment using 'comment.sty'
end{mycomment}
end{document}


but changes.sty breaks the default comment environment.



Is it possible to build a layer in my package which mediates between changes.sty's comment command and comment.sty's comment environment? The aim is to expose the original interface of each to a consumer of my package.





The two clashing definitions are as follows:



% changes.sty line 791
newcommand{comment}[2][@empty]{%
setkeys{Changes@comment}{#1}%
Changes@output%
{comment}%
{Changes@comment@id}%
{}%
{}%
{#2}%
{changescommentname}%
{#2}%
}


% comment.sty line 241
defexcludecomment
#1{message{Excluding comment '#1'}%
csargdef{#1}{endgroup message{Excluding '#1' comment.}%
begingroup
DefaultCutFileName defProcessCutFile{}%
defThisComment####1{}ProcessComment{#1}}%
csargdef{After#1Comment}{CloseAndInputCutFile endgroup}
CommentEndDef{#1}}
% ...
% line 292
excludecomment{comment}
