We've done it before, but because the relevant site wanted to also be able to still cater for other types of discounts as well it was a relatively awkward thing to do as we basically needed to create an entirely new discount-type and then make sure that it was plugged-into all the relevant existing discounting logic (which is spread about all over the place; some in price-display logic, some in add-to-cart logic, some in recalculate logic etc), with each call to it doing something subtly different depending on the place where it was using the discount.
Discounts generally are a bit of a nightmare to customise; even more difficult than shipping.
I can't remember offhand who that was for, but assuming it was a paying client, if we ever did that as an addon (or as a customisation for someone else) then we'd dig-out the original code and hand that client a slice of the pie because from what I can remember it did take quite a while to get it properly working across the board and, despite our terms/conditions (ie any code we build becomes part of our internal library, as per any developers' terms), we always try and help clients recoup their costs where relevant for things like that.
