--- Comment #6 from Eyal Rozenberg <eyalr...@gmx.com> ---
My opinion:

Yes, some footnote reference mechanisms have auto-progression/numbering. But -
some do not; and that may be sufficient for justifying this feature - even as a
more general implementation of what we have now, which simply gets exposed for
user addition. The implemented feature, at this point, could be customizing
only fixed finite lists with no auto-progression.

However - I would only be in favor of this if there are multiple obvious
examples. OP's example is one. Are there more? I'm not sure I buy ①②③. That is,
without auto-numbering, it's not as useful, and even with it - I kind of doubt
anybody would actually use this.

If there's only one or two obvious examples, we could for now just expand the 
non-customizable selection.

But isn't that only for references/citations? Footnotes are distinct from that.
