But looking more closely, the specific proposal (regardless of the

I don't recall feeling the need for it, although I may just be too used to what we have to conceive of notions beyond. But I have (almost) never seen it anywhere else. There are of course the counting quantifiers.

Having said that, I wouldn't object to an "at most one" quantifier provided it has a decent syntax. See https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/1205464/quantifier-for-there-is-at-most-one
