\footnote command as a TextScript
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2505

"command syntax" and "try to make the code work in all cases" is more or  
less compatible with what we had before: \footnote was a music command  
triggering at a particular point of time, but you could use it as an  
articulation as well together with other articulations, but then you had to  
specify a Grob type it should attach to.  Which is sort of fuzzy.

Making it more tweak-like like I proposed means that there will be only  
very rare cases where you really need to tell it a grob (like when you want  
to footnote a flag, or a stem), and even then, you'll find that mostly it  
will do to just move the stuff by using a different offset.
