This is actually not correct, sh:hasShape takes 2 arguments, a node from
the data graph (focus node) and a node from the shapes graph (shape) and
checks if the focus node validates against the shape.
It is obvious that access to the shapes graph is required to perform the
validation.
Before we had an extra argument to specify externally the shapes graph,
even if that is now gone it is still needed and provided implicitely by the
engine.

Since access to the shapes graph is optional my proposal is to make
sh:hasShape optional as well
