The first is less keystrokes, but the second makes the code so much
easier to read, that I prefer it. The keystrokes might be reduced by
autocompletion in the editor.
vs. either of the above *without* the need for the footnote hook at
all. I'm not totally sure how easy/possible it would be to automate
the footnote by the presence of offset/text arguments, but I certainly
think it would be work trying. Of course, I can see why taking away
that need for a hook could also be considered somewhat intrusive of
the package, so opinions *against* that would be good to hear.
It would be good to have a possibility of using the message as
footnote-text, perhaps triggering the footnote through a boolean then.
I would certainly prefer not to need a footnote hook; it seems somewhat
redundant from a user’s perspective.
