Merge basic and cloze notes

I don’t see a reason why basic and cloze notes have to be separate. Instead of this, we could have a single hybrid note.

How is it going to work: In the card management window, we would have a checkbox indicating that a card is cloze. At most, only a single card in a note could be cloze, with the cloze deletion logic applied as we know it. Other cards shall behave as basic cards with cloze parentheses/hints inside fields removed.

Would it make sense to implement something like this?

I don’t understand why this function hasn’t been implemented yet. Anyway, these add-on fills that gap.

The main benefit of the mentioned approach is that information isn’t split across multiple notes. Unfortunately, addons doesn’t solve this problem (even without addons, you can always add cloze-normal note pair manually).
