While playing with this, I realized that when editing the template
does not name the notes ref being edited.  When looking at the code,
I notice that, contrarily to commit.c which uses stdio, notes.c uses
write_or_die(), which is a bit less flexible for formatting.

I'd think we could me things more consistent - is there any objection
to switch notes.c to using stdio for this ?
