doc.footnotes.insert(…)

Expected result

Returns a FootnoteMutationResult indicating success with the footnote address or a failure. An anchor before, after, or between pending insertions and deletions is accepted and leaves those revisions pending. CAPABILITY_UNAVAILABLE is returned for an anchor inside a pending insertion or deletion, and for any anchor in a paragraph that contains a tracked move. A dry run reports the same result without changing the document.
