** Use the ~mir~ package for incremental reading

The [[https://github.com/gvalson/mir.el][mir package]] builds on top of ~denote~, ~denote-sequence~ and
Emacs' SQLite support to provide a workflow for prioritizing,
scheduling and reading a massive amount of text and extracting the
most useful parts out of it. This is accomplished using a process
called incremental reading (for more information, see the package's
README). ~denote~ is used as a backbone for storing imported
documents such that they are easily modifiable, uniquely identifiable
and easy to genealogically query. In particular, the file's ID is
used to store scheduling information in the database and the keyword
component is used to build a tree-like hierarchy (i.e. a sequence of
notes) that makes it easy to see where the source of a given
extracted note is.
As of writing this (January 2026), ~mir~ is still in heavy development
and does not feature all the functionality that would make it a valid
replacement of other incremental reading tools. However, work is
underway to make it feature-complete.
