Both copying [certain] ICAP response headers to annotations and
supporting logformat %codes in the note (and other) directives are
wanted features that nobody has implemented yet. There are similar
features in the existing code (eCAP and request_header_add), so it
should not be a very difficult project. Deciding which headers to copy
and/or adding a configuration option to control that decision may be the
most difficult part.

Please note that the "note" directive is currently evaluated just before
logging. It is not very useful for adding annotations to in-progress
transactions.
