Sorry, a bit off topic, but: is \setupfootnotes[] a synonym for \setupnote[footnote][] ?

Besides \setupfootnotes[] and \setupnote[footnote][] there are: \setupenumerations[footnote][] and \setupfootnotedefinition[] and maybe more. I have no idea how they are related or even how to find out the difference.
