If I understand well, let's say I have "item.quantity()" with a value of 2. I 
then would have another EO related to this item for each quantity that a 
discount should be applied to.

For example, item's name is "WOWODC 2013 ticket" and someone wants to buy two 
tickets. In "VirtualItem", I would have multiple rows for "WOWODC 2013 ticket", 
with a different quantity and discount for each row, so I would do a fetch « 
VirtualItem.NAME.eq("WOWODC 2013 ticket").and(VirtualItem.QUANTITY(2)  » and 
apply the discount from the fetched row.

(this is just an example, I wouldn't do the qualifier on the name of the 
product, it will be a relationship instead).
