I'm reasonably neutral on this specific item but I'd like to address in
terms of the overall style. Adding str() is not much of a burden and
elsewhere the argument has been made that casts and other functions are
needed (e.g. aggregates over unbounds).
SPARQL 1.0 has regex(<uri>,..) is something that is quite common -
SPARQL requires a STR().
In other functions If the primary argument is a
plain-literal-with-language (PLWL), other functions return a PLWL.
The hash functions should defintiely distinguish simple literals and PLWL.
