Subject: Footnotes Without Text Marks?

Dear Listmembers,
Is there a command or work-around in ConTeXt that's comparable to
Plain TeX's \vfootnote, to generate a footnote without a reference
mark in the text? I found options for marks with numbers, Roman
numerals, and letters (cont-enp.pdf, p. 83/99) but nothing for an
invisible mark.
I apologize for what might be a very obvious question, but I don't
find an answer in the manual nor via a Google advanced search of the
Pragma-ADE domain. I checked the archives and found a discussion from
last February in which Idris Hamid asked about changing symbol
options, to which Hans Hagen helpfully responded with a sample set-up:
\setupfootnotes
[conversion=HowAboutIt]
\defineconversion
[HowAboutIt]
[One,Two,Three]
I tried substituting both \null and {} for the "One,Two,Three" but
neither worked.
There was also some discussion of a proposed command
\setupfootnotemarker early and late last year, but I wasn't clear on
whether or how it had been implemented.
I've also been following the French hyphenation thread with some
interest; my outputs of all the samples posted so far (with TeXShop
1.34) have unfortunately displayed <A-macron><copyright symbol> for
the original <e-aigue>, and the word at the line end doesn't
hyphenate (the console reports an overfull \hbox, as I would expect).
I'm very new to *TeX, have always worked with Macs (since OS 7.1),
and have essentially no Unix experience, so answers that assume
wholesale ignorance will be best appreciated and understood. :-)
Thanks very much!
John
