I'm open to suggestions.

If individual notes-append "blocks" creates own separate list elements,
notes-append is not really useful in most circumstances. The only
workaround I see is using

notes [concat {*}"${notes} new content"]

to flatten the lists into one string every single time, but that's fugly.
