Why is the qualified relation not an entity?
It has no identity, there is simply no need to track one and the same
association, it suffices to know what data is attached to the unique
association between a particular instance of A to a particular instance
of B.
The qualifier construct is supposed to make it explicit that it is just
some data being unique to an association between entities.
I think that a good api for this would enhance the understandability of
the model.
Thanks for the excellent summary. Yeah, that makes it clear that doing
Qualifiers as Entities was very wrong. It really is more like value-data
that is attached to the specific association. Not sure how to handle
that right now. Let's revisit this when the current refactoring is done.
