Re: shapes-ISSUE-163 ("constraining"): should "constraining" and other forms of "constraint" be used less in the specification [SHACL Spec]

A related thought is that a sh:PropertyConstraint could also be regarded 
as sh:PropertyDeclaration. For some tools it may serve as the basis of 
validation, but for others it is really just a description of how a 
property should show up on forms, or simply to state that a property is 
suggested to be used for certain instances. Note that 
sh:PropertyConstraint includes non-validating properties. The actual 
"constraints" are closer to our current "constraint components".
