as the name suggests, it uses the definition/descriotion environment, so
you can use the same configuration options as there; the mentioned
location=command gives you the possibility to hook in your own commands
\def\MyMove#1{\inframed{#1}}
headcommand=\MyMove

not currently; one complication is that footnotes are collected and so
the first one is already on a line of it's own when the seconds enters
the game; technically it's possible to implement something that does
that by lying to tex about dimensions and such; however, this will not
be that robust because tex has to be able to break between note 1 and 2
if needed
