nostrdb doesn’t support replaceable notes because replaceable notes are a terrible idea. it does something much better: it stores every version of the replaceable note, and recovers replaceable note queries using a special query called a fold. Fold queries allow you to perform any logic you want while walking a filter.

Whats cool about this is that you could have a query that shows the last 3 versions of each replaceable event. This can be useful for showing things like how your contact list has changed over time.
