reftex-label-alist-builtin and footnote

[Uwe Brauer]

Hi all

I only realised by now that one value of 
reftex-label-alist-builtin
is indeed
      ("\\footnote[]{}" ?n "fn:" "~\\footref{%s}" 2
       (regexp "footnotes?" "Fussnoten?"))


But how is supposed to work?

I tried out \footnote[fn:1]{This}
but reftex did not find this label.

Then, is there any automatic way to obtain a label in footnote, in the
same manner reftex adds automatically labels to equations say?

Thanks
