That used to be the case with the old form of N3 where you could use "bind
default <URI>", but it got changed in the new syntax. My guess was that it
was impossible to distinguish from the keywords in the N3 syntax (which to
be fair did make it a little messy). Also, it makes more sense to an N3
processor I suppose, anything with a colon is prefixed by default.
