Hmm, maybe. I recall discussion about starting to use notes
to amend commit messages, and I'm not sure if this usage would
conflict with that. At the very least we'd need to write a
specification for what a note that triggers ABI-check behavior
looks like.

I'm still liking the in-tree-file idea better. For one thing,
it's not clear how expensive it'd be to search the git metadata
for this other stuff.
