FWIW, I wish Emacs had in core a mode that would allow adding notes
(a.k.a. "annotations") to files, which (a) didn't use overlays that
display in the text area, but instead displayed the notes in the
margin and/or in tooltips; and (b) would save the notes of FILE into a
FILE.notes file, not into a single DB under the user's home directory.
I think it would be a very useful feature that every text-processing
package should have built-in.
