They cannot be folded, but they can be collected in a specific headline,
which can be folded.

Consecutive lists limitation is anecdotal, really. Also, this syntax
would break every footnote definition, unless you mean to add syntax
only for multiparagraph footnotes. But I think we don't have to go that
far.
My proposal doesn't really introduce some new syntax. It merely
normalizes a corner-case.
