Re: “SHACL Minus SPARQL”

I would like to see the core of a proposal for something that would support
"SHACL minus SPARQL" as well as the core of a proposal for "SHACL plus
SPARQL".

I think that I could fairly easily put together a proposal for most of the
former, but I am puzzled as to how to handle recursion and closure, so I
would like to see how a proponent of this approach would handle recursion or
closure.  My recent proposal is, I think, along the line of "SHACL minus
SPARQL", but it supports neither recursion nor closure.

I'm less certain how the "SHACL plus SPARQL" would work.  It seems to me
that a vital part of "SHACL plus SPARQL" would be a proof that the core
formalism is equivalent to some subset of SPARQL.  If this is the case, then
why not turn things around and make SPARQL the spec and have the other
semantics proved equivalent to SPARQL constructs?  I am also puzzled as to
how recursion and closure can be handled in this approach.
