This is doable, but let's say that a user did.

\autoFootnoteGrob #'NoteHead #'(1 . 1) "bar" a1
\footnoteGrob #'NoteHead #'(1 . 1) "*" "* bar" a1
\autoFootnoteGrob #'NoteHead #'(1 . 1) "bar" a1

Should the bottom of the page read:

1. bar
* bar
2. bar

or
1. bar
* bar
3. bar

This is doable via a property.

I'll throw up a patch.
