update()
This returns a list of updated notes. This allow the user, to check, if necessary, which notes have actually been updated.
Note also that we can use update() at the start of an action to be sure we are ready to work, and we can also use update() after an action if we know some other note will want to respond to our new values.
On the whole, update() is envisaged an esoteric command for unusual cases, but may prove popular for some users with demanding applications. For light/occasional use, a need to use update() is likely an indication that some review of current code use is needed.
The method of update() using an argument is documented separately: see update(scope).
From v11.0.0 update() updates smart adornments as well as agents.
