It might be an elegant solution, but we should be careful there:
 • How does the „counter“ type work outside of statisticts?
 • Also, the change to do this would be quite deep, it would go down to our JSON
   validator, which is complex and implemented twice, once in Python, once in
   C++.

So, I don't know about this one.

With regards
