I was hoping that you'd come up with a way to add this new option with simpler-to-explain interactions. E.g., when only --notes exists on the command line, it is used as the material compared by the range-diff and as the material inserted into the final output, but when both options exist, they work independently, i.e., --notes gets used only as the final output, while --range-diff-notes gets used only for comparison material, or something like that.
