To clarify, when you use { \var \var \var }, is it your intention that
you want the footnote to be shared amongst the multiple instantiations?
If that is the case, then there is an edge case that would need to be
addressed too. Imagine if \var occurs on multiple pages. Each one
would ideally need a footnote on its own page, but if two (or more)
instances of \var occur on the same page, then you would ideally want
them to be able to share.
Sure, this is the first thing that came to mind. And yes, probably it would be nice to be able to automatically manage the two situations. But I didn't want to go so far; that's why I wanted to see if it existed a reasonable solution with the tools I know (tag).
Thank you Aaron!
