french and footnotes : babel imitation

[maieul]

Hi,

with Babel, there is an option (active by default) to print the footnote number not in uperscript, but in normal case with a dot. Like this

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[french]{babel}
\begin{document}

~
\vfill

Lorem Ipsum Dolor Amet\footnote{Ceci est une note de bas de page.}.
\end{document}

Should it be possible to have the same feature in polyglossia?

Related and close enough to add it here.

With babel, a thin space is inserted right before the footnotemark (usually a superscript) in the body text. This space is not available with polyglossia. Should it be, may be opt-in?

I think this is fixed. @reutenauer ?

We can close, I think. cf #174 #157
