Support for Comment vs. Note?

[Hedgester]

The definition of what a 'Comment' is has evolved over time within Excel.

What previously was called a 'Comment' in Excel (that shows up as an attached yellow-sticky note to a cell) in years past, has more recently had its name changed to a 'Note'. I believe this was to accommodate the addition of threaded comments within Excel, which are the new default 'Comment' object within Excel.

The AddComment() function within excelize is actually adding the old-style comment (the yellow sticky-note, which is now called a 'Note').

Is there any way to add the new style (threaded) comment using excelize instead of the old-style comment (now called a 'Note')?

If not, are there plans to evolve the library to support both Notes and Comments? If so, when?

Thanks!

When there are many comments, it can cause the whole excel file to become very large.

Is there any different between Note("old style comment") and Comment ("new style (threaded)") on basic xml data structure ?
It looks like "Note" get a gradient background and dark shadow while "Comment" gets pure yellow bg and very light shadow.

Maybe, just add a new style to "Note" and it will becomes new "Comment"?
