I got the principle and the possibility intrigues me a lot, and it seems
feasible to implement it on top of LevelGraph-JSONLD as a query language.
I still do not get what the output might be, given some input documents and
a frame.
After I have a full example I can write the support for it in
LevelGraph-JSONLD.
You should put a full framing example in the playground, and update the
spec, too!

If you want to build it yourself, you can do a pull-request or I can just
give you committer access to LevelGraph-JSONLD :).
