As we already can disable a number it's no big deal to add the option
for an alternative symbol:
\setupfootnotes[rule=off]
\definenote[starrednote][footnote][numberconversion=set 2]
\setupnote[footnote][symbol={$*$}]
\starttext
This is just a test!\footnote {Just a footnote (a).}
This is just a test!\starrednote{Just a footnote (b).}
This is just a test!\footnote[-]{Just a footnote (-).}
This is just a test!\footnote[+]{Just a footnote (+).}
This is just a test!\footnote {Just a footnote (c).}
This is just a test!\starrednote{Just a footnote (d).}
This is just a test!\footnote {Just a footnote (e).}
\typefile{symbols-001.tex}
\stoptext
I'll put a beta on the ftp (as I needed to adapt some description
related code and as usual I'll have made some typos so you depend on
Wolfgang's checking. Wolfgang: we have a new key 'symbol' for
enumerations and footnotes.)
On the agenda is a merged flush of notes so that you can have a new
instance and flush in the same order (I remember experimenting with it
but probably never finished it).
