Since you can do that easily without virtual (and probably you
won't need any additional memory) i think not using virtual functions
is better here (and expected to be faster, too)

just use a pointer to the children list. If the pointer is NULL,
then there are no children, thus the size is 0. Otherwise, return the
size value of the children list (which probably already has a length
counter, no need to make a duplicate for that).
