Feature Request: Note Hierarchy

[Thomas Ingham]

Here Here! I'd like to throw in behind this feature request as well ( 
fwiw ). Lot's of times I need to "two-stage" a process or thought tree, 
which usually results in me opening an entirely new document.

Doesn't it seem like the easier solution would be to switch notes to 
being a single node tree by default? I'm not sure how the encapsulation 
would look in the file, but it seems like it would be simple enough. 
Uses that need to use the feature would be able to, and people that use 
notes for just - well - notes would still be able to do this without a 
problem.

Great feature idea Ted!
