Re: vertical spacing of footnotes

[Valentin Petzel]

But \column does have exactly that issue. Column will hickup on "lines" 
spanning multiple lines.

Another alternative though:

A stencil could have optional spacing extents. E.g. when you do a text stencil 
it will have it’s regular stencil extents, but also also a spacing extent from 
base line to top line (which might be smaller or larger than the stencil 
extent). A stencil that does not have such extents can safely fall back to the 
stencil extents.

All basic stencil operations could then be applied to this just as they apply 
to extents. But this would then allow us to stack stencil by this spacing 
extent rather than by the drawn extent.

Cheers,
Valentin
