Add observation number in ggboxplot or similar functions?

[ShixiangWang]

Expected behavior

A new feature that implemented in the ggboxplot or similar function to support the view of the observation number in the plot. It's useful in many cases for publication-ready plots.

Actual behavior

I cannot find corresponding options.

Steps to reproduce the problem

# Load data
data("ToothGrowth")
df <- ToothGrowth

# Basic plot
# +++++++++++++++++++++++++++
# width: change box plots width
ggboxplot(df, x = "dose", y = "len", width = 0.8)

Is it possible to add a new option, e.g., show_number to show the observation number alongside the group text? So the 0.5 would be 0.5 (n=20) or similar. If there are better position for showing the number could also be considered.

ggboxplot(df, x = "dose", y = "len", width = 0.8, show_number = TRUE)

Hello.
I am new to the package and under the supervision of @katossky I am willing to solve this issue, as part of an assignment at the ENSAI school of statistical engineering (France). I have read general guidelines from Github and I will try to be as autonomous as possible but I may ask for guidance from now and then. I have a solid background in statistics and a reasonable one in computer science. If any maintainer thinks this issue is too ambitious for a beginner, please tell me so and - if you have time - guide me to a project / issue were my help may be more useful.
