Request/Suggestion: Pregnancy Indicator

Peace and blessings be upon you and your loved ones.

Hi!

While I know it's possible to check for babies with the family-affairs/matter command, it becomes very pressing to do so one at a time, especially since there are no visual indications.

Would it be possible to implement an automatic nickname symbol where pregnant dwarves and/or animals receive... well, a symbol?

Example:

Mafol 'P!' SomethingUrist

Or, if that's not practical, can there be an alert of '# Pregnancies in fort' in the bottom left, similarly to when there's 'Trader ready to trade'?

Example:

Mafol Urist, Kezub Urist, and a single Ewe are pregnant. The alert would say, ’3 Pregnancies in Fort’ and allow one to see a list.

I already have a script that prints out a summary for offpsring producing livestock. But that only covers livestock, not sentients. And the report is console only, it doesn't show any indicators in the UI (though others could later expand on it to add GUI stuff). It will still be quite a while before I submit a PR for it here.
