So if I am editing something, and I know I've done it wrong, but plan to
fix it later, am I supposed to go to the separate notes interface and
add a pre-emptive note, rather than use the existing FIXME notation? Or
do you plan a separate system to show FIXMEs to people about to write
notes to tell them that their note is already known about?

What does the separate object type gain us exactly, apart from more code
to maintain?
