Re: shapes-ISSUE-134 (knowing inverse): does SHACL syntax distinguish inverse property constraints [SHACL Spec]

In the current draft this is handled by sh:defaultValueType:

ex:s a sh:Shape ;
   sh:property _:c ;
   sh:inverseProperty _:c .
_:c [ sh:predicate ex:p ;
       sh:minCount 5 ] .


The engine will "add" two type triples:

_:c a sh:PropertyConstraint .
_:c a sh:InversePropertyConstraint .

The engine can then pick the correct validator (SPARQL query) for each 
rdf:type of that constraint.
