term literal #2

Description

@rat10

we have graph literals, but do we also want to implement term literals?
the well-known Supermaan example is usually encoded as a referentially opaque statement, e.g.

":LoisLane :loves :Superman ."^^rdf:graph

However, it would be more correct to encode it as

:LoisLane :loves ":Superman"^^rdf:term .

because only the reference to Superman should not co-denote his alter ego Clark Kent.

a syntactically slightly different take is this:

:LoisLane :loves [:sem :Opaque]":Superman"

with a blank name and property list indicating the desired semantics of the Superman literal term.

but is any of this worth the effort?
