r"""
Tweak which monkeypatches docutils to use the following symbols for footnotes:

.. rst-class:: bullet-hidden

* † -- dagger
* ‡ -- double dagger
* § -- section mark
* ¶ -- paragraph mark (pilcrow)
* # -- number sign
* ♠ -- spade suit
* ♥ -- heart suit
* ♦ -- diamond suit
* ♣ -- club suit

With some themes the superscript asterisk becomes very hard to see.

.. versionadded:: 2.7.0
.. extensions:: sphinx_toolbox.tweaks.footnote_symbols
