Hello,
I'd like to count the number of children (alternatively, number of all
descendants) of an Org headline. Is there a ready-made function for
that? If not, would using org-forward-heading-same-level and similar
functions in Lisp code be a good idea?
TIA,

What about:
* Count headlines in current level
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(save-restriction
(org-narrow-to-subtree)
(1- (length
(org-element-map
(org-element-parse-buffer)
'headline
(lambda (x) 1)))))
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
: 5
** one
** two
*** three
**** four
** five
This counts the headline you are in, so I subtract one from the total
count.

Note that, in this case,
(org-element-parse-buffer 'headline)
is much more efficient.
