Number of Children Fact field

I would like to see a "Number of Children Fact field" made available.

There is currently a "No Children" Fact that can be optionally added.

I generate a "Custom Fact" which I title "Mother of x children, y living in yyyy", replacing x, y and yyyy with appropriate numbers. Sometimes when available I include both the 1900 and 1910 records in the "Reason This Information Is Correct" box, then will go back and add a tag as appropriate.

This information can be helpful to determine if all children have been found, (or if there are too many) but I also know that it is not definitive as some mothers count stillbirths differently than others.

I do not see any priority to index this information, just have a standard field to be added as desired.

Thank you.
