Re: is/of feature of N3 in turtle/sparql?

Dan, I've still not spent any proper time with cwm (for shame!), could
you please just clarify is/of:

* It's a convenience rather than introducing anything new? 

* Would this be correct -

select ?x where
{
:EricDoc dc:creator ?x
}

select ?x where
{
?x is dc:creator of :EricDoc
}

would produce the same results?

Cheers,
Danny.
