in the interest of a minimal change, the most direct path would be a single-line modification.
replace the existing
[73] ConstructTemplate ::= '{' ConstructTriples? ‘}’
with
[73] ConstructTemplate ::= '{‘ Quads? ‘}’
which reiterates the quad pattern from the insert syntax.
so far, "TriG-with-variables" does not convince that it would be worth the effort.
specify the service description feature and you have something to target.
