I haven't yet decided wether I'l allow this by default, in some sort of
useful-but-not-correct mode, or remove support alltogether yet. I'd
welcome your thoughts.

I would have thought that its possible (in the case where the bnodes
are left skolemised) to determine which bnodes in the output graph are
co-referent in the client. If thier deskolemised in the output then its
certainly a lot harder, if possible at all.
