Emacs: consult-denote developer preview

I just published the prototype of consult-denote: https://github.com/protesilaos/consult-denote.

The idea is to use Consult across the various prompts of Denote to get the helpful features of previewing and narrowing. In addition, we can leverage Consult to perform searches in the denote-directory.

At this stage, I want to get a better sense of what we can do with Consult to help users of Denote. If this is something people are interested in, then we can check how to extend it further and eventually produce a formal package for inclusion in GNU ELPA.

What consult-denote does as of this writing:

Provides a drop-in replacement for the denote-file-prompt. This is used in a variety of commands, such as those that link between Denote files.
Defines a source for consult-buffer which lists buffers that visit Denote files. We call these “Denote buffers”.
Introduces thin wrappers to search by files contents or name in the denote-directory. The commands are consult-denote-grep and consult-denote-find. The user options consult-denote-grep-command and consult-denote-find-command control which Consult function is called.
Adds the consult-denote-mode to set up Consult-powered prompts in place of the generic ones that Denote offers. Currently, this is not done in the way I intend to do it: it uses the advice mechanism, though my plan is to modify denote.el (or others) to run the function prompts via a variable, thus giving packages like this one the option to cleanly define their own replacements.

I repeat, this is a prototype. I am not distributing a user manual at this stage, nor am I doing any video demonstration. Let us first have a fully fledged package. Then we go with the flow.
