      There have been a select few instances where it's been considered recently IIRC, but I don't really think it changes much here.
      I'm not one to be stingy with notes anyway.
      It's probably more reasonable in entries like the revised て one.

      "all senses:" in a note is very non-standard, I'm definitely not a fan.

      I think [rK] is appropriate here. 
      A user on the jisho forum pointed out that it'd be helpful to note the "の~ after nouns" for this usage, I think it's good to have.
      I will align relevant entries later, given this edit being approved.
