Custom data relations

I don't know if it's feasible or even logical to try doing such a thing, but here is the situation.

Consider generating an Order class with OrderItems - requirements are:

1. Order instance has a List<OrderItems> orderItems that can have max X items, min Y item
2. Order instance has a double totalAmount field - as you can guess, this field is equal to the sum of sub-amounts of orderItems members

First step would be added if #175 is implemented.

For the second requirement,

• totalAmount can be generated first then it could be used to generate orderItems members, or,
• orderItems could be generated and then totalAmount field could be updated by summing orderItem.amount fields

Can ObjectGeneratorBuilder be extended to include the ability to use generated fields of the about-to-be-generated object? Maybe through using lambdas?

Thanks @keremulutas , this is really interesting problem and use case is pretty common. I'll try to come up with some idea how to implement this in next week.

After some thought, we decided to leave this for some next milestone. If you want to do it, pull requests are more than welcome.
