The ability in Legacy to indicate "no children" is already there for both 
single and those with marrige records.

A single person with the "This individual never married and had no children" 
checked cannot have a marriage record linked and when that individual is 
displayed in the child position the exclamation mark is shown to indicate 
end-of-line or DSP.  That works well.

A person with marriage records, cannot have the individual box checked because 
there is at least one marriage record.  If every linked marriage record to that 
individual has the "This couple had no children" checked, the database has the 
information to show end-of-line.  What is missing is a symbol to indicate that 
situation when the individual is displayed in the child position.  The only 
symbol that shows is the double S which indicates that the child has marriage 
records in the database but does not indicate that all of them have the "This 
couple had no children" box checked.

Please note that there is no mention of one-night-stands, etc. in this 
explanation.  The only thing missing is a symbol to indicate that all marriage 
records for an individual have "This couple had no children" checked when that 
individual is displayed in the child position to make clear that it is an 
end-of-line.
