I'm looking for a tool to annotate code in Visual Studio. By which I mean this: I'm debugging and see a line of code I want to make a note about. So I right-click (or use a keyboard shortcut, or whatever) and am able to type in my note about the code. It stays with that line, but doesn't become part of the code file itself. (Thus I'...
