Aligning numbers in the footnote block

Dear all, is there a way to align the numbers in the footnote block (flush) right as is done without the key "location=left" in the following? I don't want the numbers in the margin though… --- \setupdescriptions [footnote] [location=left, distance=1ex] \setupnote [footnote] [numbercommand=] \starttext This\footnote{This} is\footnote{is} a\footnote{a} little\footnote{little} test\footnote{test} for\footnote{for} the\footnote{the} look\footnote{look} of\footnote{of} footnotes\footnote{footnotes} \stoptext --- Many thanks, Oliver

This comes very close to what I have in mind :-) Is it possible to not fix the width globally but rather use the largest actual width encountered in any single footnote block? That is, a footnote block with only single digits would still align left with the textblock boundary as would a footnote block with two digit numbers only (I'm using tabular figures) and just for mixed one and two digit blocks the right alignment would actually become visible… Many thanks, Oliver
