Example: The core sets %{error-notes}n with some extended error info
during some error responses (sometimes the same additional info passed
in the error response). This might help you differentiate between a
few different type of 400 responses.
AuthBasicProvider stashes the name of the module that handled
authentication in a note called "authn_provider_name".
"Why not open it"? I don't think this makes any sense. Modules post
these notes to whoever might want to view them (logging, or passing
messages between modules/phases).

If you're not working on a module that documents adding some note that
night be of interest, you wouldn't be logging it.
