@geraki: Yes, these properties refer to exact counts of things. That's exactly 
why I propose to introduce a separate data type for counts, see 
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T72341. The current situation is distorted by 
the fact that we don't have measured amounts, because we don't support units 
yet. So //currently// most quantities are counts, and the defaults are kind of 
odd for that. But that's just the first use case, not the main use case, for 
the quantity data type (note that there is no "number" data type. It's a 
quantity, not a number).

Introducing "unspecified precision" into the data model is also worth 
considering, I think. But we'll have to consider this carefully.
