I find it somewhat unnerving that this series is a bit overengineered to
have fancier and facier handling of notes, while at the same time still
sticking to the "only one default notes tree" mode of operation.  Are you
digging a deep hole that you will find hard to get out of when you finally
need to support copying/rewriting notes from multiple trees at the same
time?
